BACKGROUND A German-flagged container ship headed straight towards shore and briefly ran aground in Hong Kong on Sunday afternoon..(April 6, 2014).
The 192.5-meter-long Hansa Constitution was travelling along the busy East Lamma shipping channel when it suddenly veered off course
It looks like some major damage s going to be done as the behemoth gets closer and closer to the shoreline, but at the last second, it slams on the brakes via the anchor and probably some reverse thrust.
Check out the video below as the cargo ship is able to beach itself just moments before doing even bigger damage. Either this is a case of extreme luck or this ship’s captain has some major skills.
