Black Sea disaster

As reported by Reuters via Youtube.

Last year when leaving the Elbe during Beaufort Force 6 to 7 wind conditions several of the type of tanker “Volgoneft” and other similar cargo ships were at anchor in a row, I asked the pilot about it he said that they have not got the power in their engines for this kind of weather. They didn’t have the stability either, so they had to wait it out for better weather. The ships in the Black Sea the other day had no chance. God rest the poor unfortunate sailors who died, and God help the families left behind.
