A chaotic scene unfolded at the Port of Long Beach on Tuesday morning after dozens of containers fell off a cargo ship.
It’s unclear how the containers fell off the barge, though one stack of containers had sustained visible damage.
Another vessel was situated alongside a larger cargo ship in what appeared to be an effort to catch the falling containers.
Meanwhile, a tugboat seemed to be using its motors to push floating containers back toward the dock.
The Coast Guard said the containers fell at about 9 a.m., and early estimates indicate that at least 67 containers went overboard.
Port of Long Beach spokesperson Art Marroquin said in a statement that the cargo containers fell from the ship Mississippi.
The cause of the incident has not yet been determined. No injuries have been reported.
