thats crazy. I think someone fell overboard in that video.
Actually the people on the video are green peace activist trying to stop the other boat. The capitain from the big one decided to drop the anchor on them and well, no one cares for green peace (and those were international seas) so sews didn´t proceed.
Actually the last picture is a fishing boat from the netherlands (Z indicates Zierikzee or so)
One of those might not be considered a ship. ;-) Under the huge Maersk ship, and then the slightly less huge container ship, is what looks very much like a self-unloading laker (lake freighter) passing under the Mackinac Bridge, which goes between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. They are so large they can never leave the Great Lakes, and so, as they are therefore not ocean-going, they are called boats. But they can face severe weather as rough as almost any on the ocean, especially this time of year. (Edmund Fitzgerald, anyone?) I'm guessing that one is the Paul R Tregurtha, the largest operating laker at 1,013.5 ft.

Thats not the Mackinac Bridge.
Mighty Mac has three horizontal concrete supports on the main support towers, not metal crisscrossing ones.

You are correct about the laker, but that is the Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit to Windsor Canada.
The tugboat wich is said to have collided with another ship is not a tugboat but a trawler. It didn't collide with another boat either. It collided with the "stormvloedkering" wich is an adjustable barrier against high seas.
By the way its name is Z28, Annie B.
the pistons are not 1 m in diameter, its called a RT-96Flex, so that means the piston has a 96 cm diameter, also the emma maersk is not 400 meters long, "just" 398 m. thats reality...
Biggest production facilties ever

Zavala, dont be stupid, its obviously a pilot boat not Greenpeace, as if they would need to drop an anchor on em.......
