Freighter News
Frightening footage has emerged of the moment that the hull of a 46-year-old dry-bulk carrier, the MV Arvin, visibly split in two, sending the Ukrainian-owned ship to the bottom of the Black Sea off Turkey’s eastern coast.
What’s even more disturbing is the fact that three seafarers died while several mayday calls are clearly heard – and with two other vessels in sight from the Arvin’s bridge where the video was recorded. More

46 year old ship suffers same fate as 46* president…
Black Sea Lives Matter
Biden, Harris, Pelosi, McConnell weren’t on it. If they were, we could cancel part of Black History Month (what’s next? Black history century?) and use it to celebrate.
Honest: if I was black, I’d be SO embarrassed by the affirmative action groveling of black history ‘month’.
That’s why great lakes freighters don’t go in the ocean!
The song was wrong: Breakin’ up is not hard to do
Apparently, that old ship was designed for river service, not open ocean. They were delayed inbound and anchored in heavy seas. Insurance claim denied?
Designed by Anthony Fauci?
Looks like the result of “Scientific Socialism” – same “science” that brought us Globaloney Climate Change and the Chinese Flu.
When politics interferes with Engineering.
How many wrecks do you suppose lie at the bottom of the Euxine Sea? Dangerous body of water even back in the days of the Persian Wars.
izlamo delenda est …
That old rust bucket snapped like a stale cracker. It should of been scrapped years ago. That’s symbolic of Russia right there.
Hell, I have fished in bigger swells than that on Lake Michigan. (Got sea sick too) 🙂
The Black Sea has long been a cruel mistress… 😳
Not uncommon end for bulk carriers over 20 years old!
Who is the Ukrainian Gordon Lightfoot?

Yeah, I’m a black dude and I don’t “celebrate” Black History Month – never have.
