Ferry crashes into crane and starts fire. This just happened yesterday, at Barcelona Port. The vessel is Excellent; more details here: https://www.marinetraffic.com/en/ais...ssel:EXCELLENT . Like many crane/boat catastrophes, the blame was placed on heavy winds. 420 passengers were aboard the ferry, but none were injured.

The fire is thought to have been ignited after the crane smashed into fuel tanks stored below the dock.

Quick reverse thruster's, run away - wasn't me. Its all acted out like a naughty school boy prank. who said machines/robots don't act like humans. I'm confused by the fire, i'm thinking high voltage and derv but it looks far too much like a fire from a Hollywood blockbuster ?

There is a point where it looks like it wont fall any further until you see the container lifting frame swing out like a pendulum, then all hell breaks loose.
