Probably one of those nice friendly green electric cars spontaneously combusting and taking out the whole batch.
 
French battleship Strasbourg and her crew, Toulon, France, Spring 1941

Interesting history for this ship. It avoided being sunk by the Royal Navy at Mers-el-Kebir when it was thought the Germans were going to utilise the French Fleet.
She escaped there only to be scuttled by the French later in the war.
The Italians salvaged and re floated her and put her back in service only for her to be sunk again by the Americans. She was finally scrapped in the mid fifties.

Incredibly for a DIY project of this scale, the Seeker is now complete (enough) and going to launch. Currently being driven through Tulsa, OK to the inland port of Catoosa as we speak :)
It took months to find an insurer to cover the launch, but Seeker is now heading downriver under her own steam. The guy who built her is a bit of an asshole, and the ship itself may well come a cropper on the open ocean, but this is much further than most self build ships ever go. All power to him :)

Not sure if video will work if you're not in the FB group
 
EverGreen are having more trouble ?

There was someone else around in early February [Mumbai Maersk on 3rd Feb 2022, off Wangerooge, North Sea] ...

At least the Ever Forward isn't completely blocking access to Baltimore...
