A dramatic scene unfolded at sea as a large ship sank after reportedly taking on water, an event captured on video and now circulating widely online.
Witnesses say the incident began with the vessel developing a noticeable tilt to one side. Over the next several minutes, the list worsened as crew members worked urgently to stabilize the ship and manage the flooding.
Footage shows the ship’s bow dipping lower and lower, waves washing over the deck, and alarms sounding in the background. Moments later, the stern rose into the air before the entire vessel slipped beneath the waves.
Maritime authorities have confirmed that all crew members were safely evacuated before the sinking. An investigation is underway to determine the cause, with early reports suggesting a possible hull breach.
Experts say ships of this size are designed with multiple safeguards, but in extreme conditions or with significant structural damage, rapid sinking is still possible.
The wreck site has been marked, and salvage teams are expected to assess the area in the coming days.
