... 52 on October 27, the Magdeburg swung to starboard for a tight right-hand turn in the dredged channel around Broadness Point, near Northfleet Hope, Kent. The inward bound Yamashiro Maru, which should have been passing Magdeburg on her port side, slammed into her starboard side, holing the East German ship below the waterline and nearly killing her captain in his wheelhouse. Next morning's television news displayed the 6,629 ton Magdeburg lying on her side on a sandbank, with her deck cargo of Leyland buses falling, one by one, into the River Thames. Newspapers and the authoritative Lloyds Maritime Casualties publication all reported that the collision had happened in 'thick fog' and ...

(2 ) When Eddowes expanded his theory to include the assassination of Kennedy, it took on a distinctly bizarre look. Eddowes' book, November 22nd: How They Killed Kennedy (3 ) suggested that Lee Harvey Oswald had been replaced by a look-a -like KGB agent when he went to the Soviet Union. (4 ) Following this to its logical conclusion, Eddowes reportedly spent over $10,000 in October 1981 on legal fees and exhumation costs involved in re-opening Oswald's grave ...

... two problems with this. First of all, as I reported in Lobster 25 (1993), p.22, the Pastor, whose book was published in 1988, was later informed that if the prisoner really had been shot where he said he had been the bullet would have gone straight through his heart and he would have been killed on the spot. What Gabel had seen were the results of a mock suicide attempt made years earlier with a knife. The Pastor's conster-nation on hearing this was witnessed by many since it appeared in a French TV documentary, 'Tribulation', in 1989. The second major problem is that Thomas had read the Gabel's book anyway ...
