Shipping Concerns

Transport ships typically get stacked or loaded in specific ways. The loading people know what they're doing, and there's no doubt that the ship will make it from port to port. This ship, however, seems to have had a new guy working on stacking and loading it—that's the only explanation we can think of for this mess.

It must have been frightening for bystanders (boaters?) when they saw this container ship start to tip over. It's good it wasn't a cruise ship or passenger ship, and the only thing that's going to be lost is some material goods. On the flip side, that's a lot of money that's going to be emptied into the harbor. We hope they have insurance!
