If that was coming towards me like fuck I would still be standing there.

Maybe a WW on the hosting site, it throws random porn adverts up from time to time.

To be honest, that doesn't look like a ship docking fail... It looks like a perfect landing.

You do realise that's a ship scrappage place... They're going to strip the ships for metal - hence it doesn't matter how well its docked, as long as it's beached up in that area.

Somehow, I doubt they wanted to crash it into the docking area though

I disagree, notice the reaction of all the people standing and watching...

People would be acting 'shocked' if they thought 'oh no, it's crashing into the dock / other ship'...

They just stand there plain faced, as they see the new ship they're gonna have to take apart coming in.

Indian Ship Scrap Yard...







It'd probably help em out if they smashed the ship up docking it.

Things being scrapped does not mean you want them destroyed.

Wouldn't be a very good scrapyard if you went in and they had just crashed all the cars into each other.

I know what a shipyard looks like there's no way that it was planned to crash it like that.

It was meant to happen. Its a scrappage yard for ships. They run them aground like that in order to start dismantling them. Seen it done before. The further beached they get them the better. Its not a dock..its more of a slipway.

Its a beach, not a dock or yard and its only scrap metal so I doubt they care what shape it ends up.

edit: maybe I should have refreshed the page before posting lol

The fact that the ship on the left on stands is toppled over makes me think it was a mistake. But you would have expected the people to be a bit more panicky as well.

Very good point, I was wondering what that wheel was doing. Thought they were trying to move something out of the way of the one coming in at first...
