The video of a cargo ship weighing 200,000 tons attacking someone on a nearly inflated boat has plunged many netizens into grief.

Preliminary reports indicate that the engine of the boat, which was blown up on the way to the massive container ship Al Jubara, which was registered off the island of Malta, malfunctioned.
A bystander on a boat quoted by Metro says he was unwell when he saw the ship being “re-absorbed” in the rising of the ship as he tried to escape.
Fortunately, the swimmer was pulled out of the water by two people from another boat last time.
According to Metro, the incident, which was filmed in Southampton, took place shortly after Al Jubara’s departure on its way to Le Havre, France.
“Of course he did not expect this. I thought to myself, ‘He’s a brave guy.’ When he saw the ship, he panicked and tried to operate the boat’s engine, but I can tell he failed, so it jumped,” said Eden East, a student who recorded the video, in an interview with Metro. Says.
The man was rescued by a patrol boat and taken to hospital in shock, according to Southampton port officials.
