A little too close for comfort, note that when it starts to go the
engine goes straight to full revs to get the F out but they are still
within range of the flying lumps of ice.

It's surprising how little is left above the surface after it's all
over.


Only about 1/10th of a lump of floating ice is above the water.
Before it collapses it's riddled with cracks so will have broken up
considerably. By the end they are also considerably further away...
