2 container ships crash into each other Lydia Petree

Stopping slow moving ships isn't an easy thing to do. It's not like stopping a car. Two huge container ships crashed into each other on the north end of the Suez Canal. The reason of the wreck is still unknown. It's definitely a rare sight. One person actually caught it on video! Traffic was interrupted for both north and south while many work on repairing the ship and fish out containers from the water.

  1. That's crazy, I wonder how neither of the captains realized they were heading towards each other. Or if they did, maybe they couldn't alter the ships' paths due to the Suez Canal chokepoint. The damage must be astronomical, hopefully no one was hurt in the process.
