A giant cargo ship "Felicity Ace" is on fire in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

It's carrying a cargo of Porsche and VW automobiles.

The crew safely abandoned ship in lifeboats. Under maritime law the ship is now "finders keepers."

oh now I understand why it was abandoned so quickly (18hrs ago).

Half of the cars are electric.

@Render I've never actually thought to ask this....are electric cars inherently a greater explosive risk when on fire over regular cars with no fuel?

@lacuda Yes. lithium battery fires burn much hotter are extremely difficult to put out.

@Render makes so much sense. I imagine if it sinks that will be an ecological disaster too.
