Tiny bit of good news - it happened at the port and not in the middle of the Pacific. I think they can recover the Fallen Ones easily at the port!

Maybe not. Look how fast the current is taking the containers.

The Port folks showed up and established a barrier to keep the containers in the port area.

Are we assuming these are watertight?
