    The incident adds to a busy start to the year in terms of maritime accidents.

    • Jim Stone mentioned this as well with one ship burning in the Pacific and one in the Atlantic. -“The second ship is operated by Hapag Lloyd, is about a thousand feet long and has an unknown number of containers burning, unknown because it is currently impossible for the crew to get to them. How do you get two ships burning at once? How about the same space-based laser that took out Deep Water Horizon? Just burn a hole into a container or into where the cars are and voila! Instant disaster.”
