      I can clearly see the front is still attached, so it’s all fine.

      It just needs to be towed to a new environment

      It’s not over 'til it actually sinks. If they can tow it back to port, it might be repairable instead of a total loss.

        The correct thing to say then would be “has been damaged and is sinking”. It’s obvious the kind of copium they’re trying to portray lol.

          It doesn’t necessarily need to be sinking. It could have some sections flooded and not sink anymore… But yeah it’s a bit of nitpick…specially if the boat it’s stuck and cannot be moved by itself, which is the case here and while towing it it could eventually sink if some stuff continue stop break or similar.

          The better wording might be ‘British registered ship attacked by Houthi fighters, damaged and may sink’ or something. It’s very deliberately proving that the Houthi propaganda around its sinking is incorrect. That’s not copium, it’s news.

            the Houthi propaganda around its sinking is incorrect

            You’re looking at these images and thinking that it’s not sinking?
