Look Out Below!
Looking at this photograph, you would think this ship is about to fall directly onto its side, spilling all of is precious cargo into the ocean, right? Wrong! Only 4 cargo boxes actually ended up in the sea, the ship didn’t flip, and thankfully, nobody was injured either.

We can only think it must be a miracle. However, you have to question why the cargo was stacked so precariously. There seem to be far too many crates on that ship for its size. The crew didn’t seem too concerned however, so maybe they’re used to such near misses!
