      Sonars are not just a little “ping” noise underwater. They can carry enough energy to kill. It’s not subtle.

        Yeah but it doesn’t seem like anything actually happened. Article says drivers “may” have sustained minor injuries.

        China is a bully. Crying about every little thing to the media doesn’t feel like the right way to handle them.

          What is your preferred inhuman method of handling them?

      Don’t be an arse. Active sonar can be pretty dangerous, using it when animals are in the water is risky a.f.

      The flag a ship is flying doesn’t change that it’s a pointlessly dangerous thing to do.
