In deep fog a luxury cruise ship named Silver Shadow hit a container ship in the coast of Vietnam on Friday morning. The container ship got a hole and the passengers got a heavy jerk.
Andrew Lock, a passenger of the ship, said, “The foghorn at the back of the ship had been going off consistently, throughout the morning.”
“But there was a certain point in time when the foghorn at the front of the ship suddenly sounded. And it was much louder. And it caused us to look up. And in fact we looked up straight out of the window. And through the fog, to our horror, we saw this Vietnamese container ship appear, sideways on. And it was as if our ship was perfectly lined up to hit it in the side.”
“So, it was a horrifying moment. And in less than about five seconds after the ship appeared. We did in fact collide right in the side of it.”
