Long Island Attacks! Penguins Flee!

Or, News from the polar express.

NASA reported back on January 6, 2005 that an Antartic demolition derby was about to commence.

"It's a clash of the titans, a radical and uncommon event," says Robert Bindschadler, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, and if the two giant slabs of ice collide, we could see one of the best demolition derbies on the planet. "Even a 'tap' from a giant can be powerful. It will certainly be a blow far larger than anything else the ice tongue has ever experienced," says Bindschadler.

Bostonist didn’t take much note of this event until they compared it to Long Island. What if Long Island came and attacked Boston? NYC is already starting talks about seceding from New York State, maybe they’re talking in more geological terms. The "clash of the titans" was observed by NASA’s satellites. The mpg version (5Mb) of the images is highly recommended (It shows both the collision and a comparison of Iceberg B-15A to Long Island). Though originally predicted for a weekend derby the collision happened on Monday. The headline on this post is actually incorrect. The article from NASA does explain that penguins will have to travel a shorter distance to get to the open water, and food. This could potentially save lives of penguin chicks who were previously too far from open water.
