Ghost ship crewed only by Cannibal rats feared to be heading for Britain

A GHOST ship crewed only by CANNIBAL rats is feared to be heading for Britain.
The hulk of cruise ship Lyubov Orlova has been adrift in the North Atlantic for the past year after being cut loose off the coast of Canada.
But now coastguards are reportedly worried the recent storms may have driven her thousands of miles towards our own coastline.
The 300ft vessel, built 40 years ago in the Soviet Union, has nothing aboard but packs of disease-ridden rodents who are forced to prey on one another to survive.
Her current position is unknown despite several high-level searches.
Last year satellites picked up an unidentified blip off Scotland large enough to be the ship — but search planes found nothing.
As well as the authorities, salvage hunters — after the 4,250-ton vessel's £600,000 value as scrap — are scouring the seas for any trace of her.
quote:
One searcher, Belgian Pim de Rhoodes, told The Sun: "She is floating around out there somewhere.
"There will be a lot of rats and they eat each other.

Well that sounds like the makings of a good horror movie.

28 days later is about to happen.
Why don't they just sink the ship, though?
Eta: are there pics of this ship?

That's crazy to think it's just floating around the world right now without knowledge of where it is.

i assume if that thing floats long enough, there will be only one uber-rat remaining who will conquer the world.

What are the odds that even 1/4th of those rats are still alive?

That seems low for a cruise ship.

However, in 2010 she was impounded in Newfoundland, Canada in a row over debts and deserted by her unpaid crew.
After two years tied up in port, the decision was taken to tow her to the Dominican Republic in the Caribbean where she would be scrapped.
But in heavy seas, the tow-line to a tug broke, prompting the Canadian government to send out another ship to drag her far out to sea and release her.
OH CANADA

They can't find it. So no.
Worth 600,000 dollars, why sink it?

One well placed air to sea missile will take care of that.
