(ZEROHEDGE) – Two videos surfaced on YouTube Thursday of a massive 316-meter-long containership smashing into another vessel resulting in a crane collapse at the Port of Kaohsiung in Taiwan.
Taiwan News reports at 01100 local time Thursday, the OOCL Durban, a 316-meter-long containership, veered off course and struck the bow of YM Constancy, a 210-meter-long containership, causing a dockside gantry crane at container yard Yang Ming Marine Transport Corp. at the Port of Kaohsiung’s Pier 70 to collapse, knocking down a stack of containers as workers ran for their lives.
Scenes from multiple points of view of the incident appeared as they were from the American horror movie “Final Destination,” but this is a real-life port accident. Dockworkers can be seen running for their lives to avoid being struck by the flying containers.
