Huge cargo ship disappears in South Atlantic with 22 crew members on board

A huge cargo ship has vanished in the South Atlantic while carrying 22 people on board.

The South Korean vessel has sparked a search operation after disappearing in unknown circumstances.

The Stellar Daisy was sailing from Brazil to China when it sent out a distress signal on Friday.

A message received by the ship operator said it was taking in water on the port side and listing rapidly.

Two people were found in a life raft and rescued but other lifeboats and rafts found in the area were empty.

Torpedoed?  Iceberg?  Someone forgot to close a port window?

What was the cargo?   That might shed a clue.

You're blaming the ocean? Where is the fun in that?  ^-^

Of course we can blame the ocean.

Lots of things IN the ocean.

Ships are only huge in respect to other ships. Compared to the oceans,they are smaller than dust mites. "Rogue Waves" occur,and so do mechanical faults,and ships disappear. This has been happening ever since ships started setting out to sea.
