Ship sinks in the Huangpu

Since weird happenings seems to be a "theme" these past few days, we thought we might as well add another post in that vein: a 15,000 ton ship sank in the Huangpu river on December 2 (report in Chinese). No one died, and it seems that the cause was that they forgot to close whatever door it is that keeps the water out. There was oil on the ship, and they've set up the screens that keep the oil from spreading. They are also making sure that the sunken boat stays in the middle of the river. There are more pictures in the link above.
