Ship had had mechanics working on it because IN PORT it had total power loss several times. Reason? The refrigerated cargo units had something to do with the power loss.

When asked if the problem was solved in port, the person interviewed said she didn't know the answer.

A couple more bodies were recovered, whether they were Honduran or Mexican wasn't announced

Do any of you remember when the CCC was struck by a barge or a ship in the early 90's? I heard that a car fell off the bridge and landed in the Mississippi River. I was on my way home when I heard about the bridge being hit and a car going in the river. The young lady that drove the car that went in the river had the same first and last name of a young lady that I knew that lived in Donaldsonville. In my mind the chances of that being the lady that I knew was slim. The next morning I was reading the newspaper and when I read about the bridge accident, it was the young lady that I knew. Her first name was Cynthia and she always had a smile on her face. She played sports while in high school.

It's not uncommon to have stuff crap out. It just generally happens either moored up or in open seas, because that's where those ships spend their lives.

What happened to this shite is every single maritime shipping associated person's worst nightmare. Losing power or steering approaching a bridge is as bad as it can get. Headed down river makes it sooooo much worse. You have to have speed through the water to steer.
