Bummer.

Was it a supertanker it collided with?

Size matters.

If you’d looked about 10 posts or so down you’d seen this was already posted.

Being towed to port, no big crisis. No fake breaking.

Yep, that looks pretty rough. Clearly they have the emergency pumps working. P250’s or whatever they have been replaced with. It’s been a while since my days in the canoe club. What’s scary is that crunched section of the superstructure is right near where my office was back in the day. Of course I was on a Spruance Class. Not sure where everything is on these new ships.

>I wonder who had the deck.

A woman. A woman also had the deck of the Deepwater Horizon when it caught on fire in the gulf. She froze up and did nothing once problems started.
