That would be a scary experinece. It's the Titanic movie in real life. Well not exactly but it looks by the pictures that the ship is actually stuck on the rocks. I wonder how they get something that big unstuck.

That's a pretty bad accident. No matter how big and mighty we construct our ships, mother nature is always more powerful.

I think there's still a father and daughter unaccounted for but everyone else was rescued. There came a point overnight when they realized that saving the ship was not going to be possible. |

I cant believe it. Ive watched youtube and cnn video its a shocker how you just see this monster of a ship turn over and disappear leaving a handfull of life rafts to float around near where the big ship had once been.

I'm surprised the waters so close to shore were deep enough for the shil to sink all the way.
It just seems to me that most of the time when they're that close to land the majority of the ship can still be seen because the water is generally not deep enough that close to land to submerge the whole ship. It's different this time though.

I'm surprised the waters so close to shore were deep enough for the ship to sink all the way. I was thinking the same thing. That ususally harbor waters are not deep enough for a ship that size to submerge completely. There's lots of sunken ships still in harbors since they're not easy to move and most of the time they can be sailed around. You'd me surprised what you see when you ride on a train a lot. But yes, when that happens the ship is usually not fully under water and eventually it gets scrapped on site because it can't be moved. More than likely this Sea Diamond has become an artificial reef. What I am wondering though is like Blastgirl said if it ran aground how did the water happen to be deep enough to swollow it? Investigation is just beginning we might find out it had been taking in water for miles and it did not really run aground where it went down too. PS I can tell you how to correct a derailed train but this is sunken ship business is out of my department. |
