The Liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery wreck
20th August 2012: For 68 Years you have been resting peacefully on the seabed, but for how much longer?......
The Liberty ship SS Richard Montgomery is a time-bomb waiting for a terrorist to give Britain its first real tsunami and, maybe, worse. This film shows what can happen when a government conceals something very dangerous from its own people.
Fact: The US explosives carrier SS Richard Montgomery sank in the Thames Estuary in August 1944. It was loaded with 1500 tons of explosive munitions. The Admiralty decided to leave the wreck and its dangerous cargo undisturbed. The wreck lies just a few hundred yards offshore between an oil refinery next to the Kingsnorth power station and several towns. Southend on Sea is just a couple of miles away on the other side of the Thames estuary. Rumours about the ship and its cargo have circulated in these towns ever since. Denials have been issued by ministers in the House of Commons in response to MPs questions about the presence on board of biological, chemical and gas warheads. Nevertheless, rumours persist that the real reason the wreck was not made safe was because of the existence of dirty weapons on board.
After 68 years ( 20 August 2012 ) at last somebody has seen sense.
Realising the threat of terrorists blowing up the wreck is real, and
possible. There are now 24 hour land and sea armed police patrolling the
Sheppey coast, but for how long?
Although it seems to been kept out of the news for political reasons and
lack of a viable solution at present, or it seems in the near future.
The wrecks contents must be made safe or removed before a new
international hub airport in the Thames estuary could ever even be
considered let alone built.
