The Fire Department says it is responding to a mass casualty incident. At least 20 people are believed to be in the water along with multiple vehicles. The bridge was hit by a #Singapore-flagged #container ship.
This large #ship has run aground - as well as calling PAN PAN on the radio to alert the Coastguard / Harbourmaster and other vessels, as a visual signal 3 balls are displayed on the front mast (this is to the left of the picture). If the vessel cannot be steered, 2 balls are displayed.
This is why in #Britain when something has gone badly wrong, we often say there has been a "total balls up" 😁
Under the clouded sky, the tall ship Alyssa sailed down the canal with a regal grace appearing to sail across the sand like a phantom ship.

The British minesweepers HMS Chiddingfold and HMS Bangor collided while mooring in Bahrain. Not for the first time - in April 2021 HMS Chiddingfold collided with HMS Penzance and was taken out of action for 3 months for repairs. #AureFreePress#news#UK#Britian#British#Navy#Ship
