I’m sure we’ll find out sooner or later what happened, but does one loose item create a dominoe effect and it rolls?

Must have been scary for the last four workers. I read they had to breach the hull to get to them.

Heard an interview with a pilot familiar with the port.

They need a lot of seawater ballast to offset x levels of cars stacked up for 8 stories.

The port is pretty shallow, so he surmised the captain left the port with minimal ballast. Makes the ship unstable, was slightly top heavy but if you're careful you can pull it off.

He was going to increase ballast when the water was deeper.

Probably was hit by a wake or wave on the side that nudged it... it was all over.

Yup - they had to land a helo on the side, then rappel down on ropes to cut the exit hole for the crew - there is a pic floating around somewhere...
