holy fuck!

charliem jokingly says...

Not a single one got sucked under!
Fake!

"Editors note: This story was initially reported on January 30th citing a press release on the Iranian, Pars Oil and Gas website. $40 million was the number placed on the value of what sank off Iran.

An update from the Pars Oil and Gas website today proves what is abundantly clear by watching this video. The sinking structure is the “jacket,” or the structure used to support the topside production facility which has yet to be installed. Jackets such as this one do not cost $40 million to make.

We apologize for making this out to be more than it is, but considering we don’t speak Persian and Google Translate pretty much sucks, getting the real facts is a challenge sometimes.

If we get any further updates, we’ll pass them along."

And in other news; the price of gas went up today..

No. They speculated that this would happen a month or so ago and raised the prices then.
