Several of you seem to assume that artbrooks refers to the Rainbow Warrior and gets mixed up who was killed and by whom. That is a very farfetched inference with no foundation in artbrooks's post.

The incident he recollects seems to be a completely unrelated incident to me. However, 'Blowing up' a whaling ship is not Greenpeace's method of action.

I've searched long for killings during or related to Greenpeace actions. Greenpeace members as victims you can find in those searches. But nonmembers of Greenpeace killed by or during a Greenpeace action you will not find.

The closest to the incident I guess artbrooks had in mind is this:

In December, the pressure group was slammed by the Minster of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries of Japan who called the group "inhumane". He referred to an incident in which Greenpeace activists had prevented the staff of a Japanese whaling ship from leaving their ship, near Australia. Reportedly, a crew member committed suicide following the incident, which also involved a fire on the whaling ship. (1999)
