Not enough space? No telescopes? Blind sailing? Fog? Night time?

This is impossible to be an accident !!

Who is piloting these boats? We are living in the start of idiocracy.

The tanker was anchored and the cargo ship just ran into it. The cargo ship might have been on auto-pilot. "What's Going On With Shipping" has a good report on YT.

How? How is it even possible? I bet one ship turned off the transponder.

[PaulVegan]

This is weird. Don't they have radars onboard or eyes in their heads?

Nice of The Mirror to employ people with learning impairments to read the news to us.

Cow farts don't seem so bad after looking at this.

IMMACULATE is contracted to move jet fuel for the US military' but not mentioned in the headline, nor in the summary. Imagine how would it be if it was China or Russia related vessel.

[Rob-dl]

People have become idiots lately plane crashes and now a ship crashing into each other people are becoming dumber there’s so much space in the sea

[Jesus-The-Everlasting-Father]

Poor ship crews who might be from 3rd world countries are losing their fathers, uncles, brothers.
Evil does exist.

[Gothondra]

way to help with the global warming and your love of environmental disasters.

[paul-lqrb]

All planned maybe makes you think and a labour distraction ships move at slow speeds how did both watch crew not see each other i have many questions

[waynewinky]

Sure Uncle Albert was'nt on it.
The radar was all blibs and blobs!

The containership was anchored offshore. The tanker hit it. Either way, rescue efforts need to be organized for oil-covered wildlife on shoreline beaches.
