How the Rainbow Warrior got bombed
In 1985 there was spectacular boat named the Rainbow Warrior. The Rainbow Warrior was protesting against French nuclear testing and the french got MAD! 10 mins before midnight at Auckland Marsden Wharf there were three spies.
Two spies attached two bombs the bottom of the ship. Although the two bombs exploded, the bombs killed Fernando Pereira the photographer.
When the first bomb went off Fernando wanted to get his camera but it was to late, the second bomb went off and he drowned in his cabin!
We need to talk about the 2 bombs. The first bomb made a HUGE hole in the hull and it was as the size of a car ! The second bomb was planted to the engine room. Remember the third spy? The third spy “ Christine Cabon” was undercover at the Auckland office. He was getting information and maps. The 2 spies “ Alain Marfart and Daminique Prieur were both charged for manslaughter, and they were imprisoned in Hao Atoll as punishment. In 1987 the French paid 8.16 million to Greenpeace. Money was also paid to the Pereira family
