Top Tweets for #AGROUND
#Timmy, the #humpback #whale who repeatedly ran #aground on #sandbanks in the #BalticSea off the coast of #Germany, swam into the prepared #barge, filled with water, on April 28th after repeated encouragement from helpers. Some criticize the #rescue efforts, for which I have little understanding. Should the animal die in the #NorthSea, its body would be, where both living and dead whales are part of an #ecosystem. Should it survive, it will be able to contribute to the #preservation of its #species for decades. But there is also something else at stake. When you see close-up video footage of Timmy swimming into the barge with impressive #elegance and #majesty, he demonstrates his own vitality and with it the #power and #grandeur of #nature, which stubbornly and demonstratively wants to survive the consequences of human #carelessness. Look, I should have been dead long ago, but I don't want to die, not because of your ghost nets, not because of your noise and your ship propellers. Look at me closely, because seeing something with own eyes, something living, something capable of suffering, is different from only knowing, reading, or hearing.
It is also about #empathy, which, alongside lust for power, greed for violence, and a love of war, is one of the deepest #human needs. A #need that is made difficult for us to fulfill in today's turbulent global times. For whom exactly should we feel empathy now, who is certainly not guilty, at least in any slightest way? It too often seems debatable; and if not, we are manipulated to think that it is debatable, we are due to our nature so susceptible to influence, and our thirst to feel for others, to suffer with them, to hope with them, increasingly gets stuck in our throats. But if we don't want to lose the ability to fully embrace our urge for empathy in the face of the hatred and envy everywhere in the world, we should look for alternative channels, and that can, may, and should even be a whale, whose body, covered in wounded skin, rises almost motionless from the Baltic Sea for weeks, crying and weeping heart-rendingly when we risk becoming accustomed to its sight.
This whale demonstrably bears not the slightest guilt. Its suffering and its #willtolive deserved our compassion. For it was the truth and purity of this compassion that connected people and led them to strive for the seemingly impossible, and thereby actually making it possible despite and against so many expectations.

"Lee Shore" is when there is a shoreline right behind you with the wind on your bow at anchor. If the anchor drags, there is little time to react before the vessel is goes aground. To be avoided, especially when the wind picks up! #sailing #aground #shipwreck #beach #Bahamas

A Chinese tanker has run #aground in Russia's #Sakhalin region during a huge storm, RT reports. It is carrying 20 crew members as well as hundreds of tons of diesel, heavy oil and coal. Preliminary information shows that no one is injured, and there are reportedly cracks in the ship's hull, but no leakage is reported.
