The equipment itself isn’t proof of anything, it’s just wild speculation as the article itself effectively admits when it says “shows what appears to be”. If that’s the standard of reporting you expect from the media, then don’t know what else to say to you.
The equipment is proof there was a sub in that position before at least. I know one comment here was implying there wouldn’t be a sub here, but clearly that’s wrong. There was a sub in that exact spot. The cranes also moved into that position for some reason. What happened? I don’t know. Something happened though, in the exact spot a sub was previously. Take from it what you will, but pretending it’s completely impossible just makes you look goofy.
I didn’t read the article though. I was looking for the picture only. That could be totally wrong, but it doesn’t discount the evidence of the picture.
Exactly, you don’t know what happened. It’s just baseless speculation that’s completely pointless. Nobody is pretending it’s completely impossible, what you’re being told is that there’s no actual evidence here. The fact that western media is jumping all over it shows just an incredible amount of desperation. Try holding journalists to a higher standard.
I don’t know what happened, but also the claim being made isn’t baseless. It’s clearly based on there being a sub there before, then no sub but a response to something using many cranes.
I do agree it shows Western (and all generally) media really try to dig up stories, and they try to be the first to report something. It’s sad, but saying that isn’t the same as saying it’s baseless. There is evidence of a sub and an accident at the exact spot the sub was. Check out these photos and compare them. They’re the exact same spot where the cranes are now. Does it prove that the sub sank? No. It is evidence of it, or some other accident, though. You can ponder it for yourself.
Again, the question is what makes any of this news worthy in any way, and why it’s being reported as front page news in western media. Like yeah maybe cranes are there for the sub, or maybe they’re there for a completely different reason, like refitting the dock. There are plenty of other perfectly logical explanations here, so the leap is in no way warranted. If there was a satellite picture of cranes lifting the actual sub out, yeah that would news.
This is just a nonsense story to get people in the west excited that there a possibility of some mishap having happened in China. You would never see a story like this printed about the US in a mainstream newspaper. This is world weekly news style reporting.
