A 650-foot (198-meter) car carrier with 21 crew members and about 3,500 Nissan vehicles on board caught massive fire on Monday while traveling from Japan to Hawai. The cause is still unknown. 16 crew members were rescued but four were listed as unresponsive when rescue ships saw them. One crew member is still missing but the U.S. Coast Guard reportedly suspended its search.

quote:

Built in 2009, the Sincerity Ace carrier is owned by Shoei Kisen Kaisha. It was headed to Hawaii and U.S. mainland ports with Nissans “and possibly other vehicles,” according to Automotive News. A significant fire was reported on Monday morning and intentions to abandon ship.

Titans are all built at the Canton, MS Nissan plant.

Probably Jukes*

Should have built them in Mississippi and teleported them to Hawaii!

It seems like they should have posted a sentra to keep watch and make sure this kind of thing didn’t happen. I just hope nobody on board paid the altimate price.

I’m pretty sure that an unexpected fire anyplace is no joke.
