Don’t mean this in a bad way but have you every had you mouth held open and the corner of your jaw on both sides cut open?
Or felt what it feels like to see what a pinky toe can stand against a hammer.
You probably sort of need that now. This pretty much brought me back into my marine corps days and dealing with prisoners and you need some of that.
It puts the lotion on itself!

I belive the word you're looking for is capsized.

Interesting that the word capsize is for half over,on its size, as well as totally upside down.

Terrible, terrible, terrible.
For the maritime baws: is this vessel sunken, or capsized and aground?

Orient Queen was a cruise ship built in 1989 for the company Mar Lines by the Union Naval de Levante shipyard in Valencia, Spain. On 4 August 2020, she was badly damaged by an explosion in Beirut near where she was berthed, and subsequently capsized.
History
Originally named Vistamar, she was operated under charter by German-based cruise companies, first Jahn Reisen then Plantours & Partner. The ship was operated in the Caribbean and the Mediterranean, but also undertook voyages to the Arctic and the Antarctic, to Greenland and up the Amazon river. In 1997 she reached Iquitos, Peru, a distance of around 4,400 kilometres (2,700 mi) from the Atlantic Ocean, becoming the first large cruise ship to do so.
In 2003, she struck submerged rocks near Ibiza (the ship's then home port) soon after departing on a 12-day cruise. The ship was towed back by tugs and the passengers disembarked. She required repair in dry-dock.
In the 21st century, her ownership changed many times but she continued to be mainly operated by Plantours. In 2012, she was renamed and acquired by the Lebanon-based Abou Merhi Group.
The vessel's home port was Beirut and she typically operated in the eastern Mediterranean, calling at ports in Greece and Turkey. There was accommodation for 370 guests.
2020 Beirut explosion
Orient Queen arrived in Beirut on 27 June 2020 following a 22-day voyage from King Abdullah Port in Saudi Arabia. On 4 August, the vessel was severely damaged by an ammonium nitrate explosion while moored at her berth.
The ship was left listing to starboard. Two crew, both Filipino nationals, were killed and several people injured. A crewmember, interviewed after the explosion, stated "The ship is totally destroyed – the cabins, the saloon, everything". The ship capsized that night after her list worsened, then partially sank. Several other ships were damaged in the same incident.
On 7 August, the first lawsuit related to the explosions was filed by Abou Merhi, whose offices were also destroyed.

Those buildings are all skeletons. There must be sheet metal and shrapnel everywhere.
