Freighter capsizes in Coastal GA

[gnuyork]

We saw this freighter coming over the bridge leaving the beach yesterday...something about it looked off... well it turns out it capsized early this morning...

I hopped over to the St. Simons pier to gawk and take some photos. Crazy stuff. There are 4 remaining crew members trapped inside. Hopefully they get rescued soon.

Where is the freight ?

I thought freighters only fell over when (fully)over loaded that one looks remarkably devoid of freight.

Inside. These are typically auto freighters in this area (Brunswick, GA).

Oh dear, that's not gonna end well - I do hope they get the people off obviously

Sounds like it wasn't 'packed' well or it had a leak.

[Seriously]

It's on fire apparently

Being trapped in that is about the most frightening scenario I can think of. I hope they’re rescued safely and soon.

Thank goodness, they were. Have to agree with the sentiment. All dark and nowhere to go is not my idea of fun! I will be curious as to the cause. You don't see them do that too often!

What a mess. I'm glad the people are OK.
