This is the terrifying moment the crew of a massive cargo ship were forced to scramble for safety after it capsized and sank. The Comoros-flagged vessel, named Amnah, capsized in Ambarli-Marpot port in Istanbul, Turkey, forcing at least 15 people to jump off it, according to local reports. Terrifying footage of the capsize showed the cargo ship keeling over, with several people running off its desk. Massive containers could be seen plunging into the water around the port. A separate video of the aftermath showed the vessel at laying on its side at a steep angle, with its hull touching the sides of the port. Local media reported that three people were forced to jump into the waters around the boat, where they were picked up by tug boats. One crew member reportedly sustained minor injuries during the chaos. Turkey's transportation ministry said in a statement on X: 'The risk to the marine environment has been controlled, and the vessel is surrounded by floating barriers.' #news #shipping...
