"Three boats explode, one after being boarded by coalition personnel, near tankers at an Iraqi oil terminal."

Was watching the draft, on a football BBS when one of our guys in the area said he had to leave early...mentioned briefly that he was in Kuwait I believe, and that a Japanese ship was reporting being under attack. Said he had to bail fast, "radios were going crazy", then a few minutes later the discussion was erased....then I see the above on CNN breaking news...THEN, that too ceases to exist on their site within minutes?!

Kind of strange situation when you're talking to a guy live AND a major news site, and it's all OMG, OMG...shit is hitting the fan.....oh, never mind.
