Talk about getting distracted. The ship picture got most of my attention as a former sailor. I always wondered about containership loads; about how they kept all that stuff stable at sea. Well, it looks like things can and do go wrong. I doubt the ship had much in the way of counter flooding capability, so I hope it was close to land or the seas stayed calm.

I’m amazed how well those connectors (are whatever they’re called) are still holding the containers together. Obviously they used some pretty good steel to make them!
