WOW!!

Just read the report in "The Telegraph" where they have some video footage.............

"The cargo ship's stern half drifted onto the shore while the bow remained stuck on the rock jetty"

What is the world of reporting coming to! They don't know which end of a ship is which now...........

I wonder if that was Michael dangling from the helicopter, looking for the best photos ever!
Seems they had a problem with the winch.
