    Hi,

    I would have posted this in Special Features but I get a message that I am not allowed to post things there. So my apologies if it seems to be in the wrong forum. I figure it is an event although not the type of one normally written about in here!!

    Saw this on the TV then looked online

    I did get to see a brief video of this on our TV news. Although the list is dramatic, it did not appear all that unstable. Possibly the cargo is just enough to keep it from going over?

    Tough to see what the recovery method might be. Surely to risky to send crew and equipment inside. I suppose big cranes would work, but they would have to get it all the way inside a harbor. Wanna bet they end up just beaching the thing?
