Recently in Greece there was a collision 80 miles away from the city of Methoni between two cargo ships. There were 17 crew men on the one ship and 16 on the other. The mysterious thing about this entire collision is that 7 of the crew members are missing after the ship sank 7 minutes after being hit and no one knows what really caused the collision in the first place. The crew members from the other ship have all come out to be okay and even helped the Greek coast guard to find the missing men, kind of sounds suspicious to me…
When I first read this article I was surprised especially about how this happened in the first place. It is not very often that you hear about cargo ships hitting each other, let alone for no apparent reason? They reported that the seas were very calm right after the crash and have been for the past few days which makes this story sound even more suspicious. I cannot imagine what were to happen. Was it on purpose, crashing into each other? If so why? Were they secretly feuding? Was it really just two boats crashing into each other because they were on the same track? If they were on the same track how on earth did that happen? Don’t they track the way they are going and have communication systems for who is out at sea so things like this do not occur? This story just does not sound right; I think they need to find out what was going on and how they crashed into each other. These cargo ships should not have crashed into each other if they were following the right tracks that they were supposed to be on. I hope that Greece investigates and finds out what really happened on the water that day. (311)
