Greenpeace Suspends Climbers off Portland Bridge to Block Shell’s Arctic Icebreaker Ship
BY ZOË SCHLANGER 7/29/15
Early Wednesday morning, 26 climbers affiliated with the environmental group Greenpeace rappelled off the edge of St. Johns Bridge in Portland, Oregon, and suspended themselves in a row, forming what they hope will be a human blockade to prevent a Shell ship from leaving for the Arctic. They each have enough supplies to last for days, a Greenpeace spokesperson said in an emailed statement.
Photos from the scene showed the climbers suspended on ropes high over the Willamette River at dawn. Some appear to have hammock chairs.
The TRUTH will set you FREE.
