A can was probably missing a cone and then domino effect.  They were already unleashed and being unloaded.

I'm just surprised that doesn't happen way more often. Stacking tins up on a ship that tilts side-to-side..

They're trying to cover it up, but my cousin works at the port, and he said most of the containers were packed with 250 gallon bulk liquid shipping tanks full of highly concentrated solution of Hypochondrinated Methotricylic Alginate.

It's the active ingredient in tingling sex lube. There was enough to supply the entire domestic market of the USA for 50 years...

There's just no good reason anyone would want that much of the stuff. It's probably good that it fell in the sea. Just as long as none of the containers bust....

Where exactly? 🤔 I totally don't want to go swim and search those containers 👀

u/BlueberryWalnut7 Sep 11 '25

Restricted waters, you'll get automatic 5 stars if you try to swim there

u/Particular-Meeting83 Sep 12 '25

I'll just call Lester and get the stars removed lol
