    If an absolute fuckton is 100,000 tons, then yes, it indeed weighed an absolute fuckton.

    Also the ship lost power, they radioed for tugs a minute and a half later, started dropping the anchor a minute after that. Radioed a mayday a minute after that. If you look at the video you can see smoke coming out of the exhaust indicating they were trying to get the engines going again. Just before hitting the pier you can see the ship started turning away, but it was to late.

    Every indication is that it’s an accident. But conspiracies are going to spread because it’s what people like I guess.
