The 192.5-meter-long Hansa Constitution was travelling along the busy East Lamma shipping channel when it suddenly veered off course. The Hong Kong Marine Department said the ship's main engine broke down. People familiar with the shipping industry say the captain and Hong Kong maritime authorities decided to the best course of action was to beach the vessel to prevent it from colliding with other ships on the busy shipping channel. The crew dropped anchor at the last minute, making loud screeching noises, to slow Hansa Constitution as it headed straight towards the sea wall outside the University of Hong Kong sports grounds in Pok Fu Lam. The ship ground to a halt at around 15.22 local. It then slowly reversed, as Marine, police and fire services rushed to the site. It was eventually towed free. No one was injured. The ship was travelling from Yokohama in Japan to Chiwan port in Shenzhen, China. 目定口呆: 192.5米貨船, 行駛東博寮海峽期間, 突然偏離航線, 直沖香港大學何鴻燊體育中心..直至擱淺岸邊. 海事處表示是主要機件故障. 熟悉船務的人表示船長應是故意把船開離繁忙航道, 避免在停頓前撞倒其他船隻. 船後來被拖走.

“I cant I’m in Hong Kong shipping district”
“My parents aren’t home”
You're right. The UK is a small country but considering how small we are and at one point we once owned you (not the UK's finest moment but what be of it). I mean we have free healthcare (again some improvements but at least no one dies because they cannot afford healthcare), and your president said the tax reforms would be good for all classes, especially the lower classes but all it has been good for is rich corporations.
lmao England isn't all that great but at least we don't have the shittest medical system in all the developed countries.
But really...? I don't see a powerful military with nuclear weapons better than a country that doesn't have ANY beef with any other country on Earth. And is the safest country in Europe, when it comes to a nuclear war.
Because we have a game we call football, we differentiate by calling European football, soccer.
bigger click bait
