From another forum, a cargo ship disaster off Yemen. Speculation on cause ranges from fireworks on board to terrorism to a mine. Full details on 3 pages starting at:

Houston, I think we have a problem.

Check out the container/debris on top of the stack and bridge. That had to have been one big explosion.

I think someone put jet fuel in the diesel tanks...

There are quite a few images on this site of several incidents. Down in the yellow photo index, have a look at the Disaster Photo winners. There is a car carrier pushed up against the cliffs by a typhoon, and a the Sealand Express that apparenly took damage to her bilge keels by cannon balls off the coast of South Africa.

Some of these have me thinking, "Hmm, interesting ship,...DOH!!!"

Nah, there was a container with Carbon Bike frames for two bike factories in the next town, it was in the papers overhere.

The stuff that was lost in the fire, or offloaded somewhere completely else, is now to be flown in, to keep production running.

Some customers are going to get their bikes with some delay and they will have cost the manufacturers a bit more than anticipated....
