Steve,
Having seen the fuller video it comes as no surprise to see that nothing,not even the forklift,was tied down.The sulphuric acid pouring out of the fl battery bank was in itself very dangerous.Iam an engineer but sadly I would not want to go on board a vessel such as this ever as a passenger or as an engineer.This is the type of thing that happens on a daily basis on fishing boats in the North Sea,BUT most of the skippers know when enough is enough.Shame it took me so long to see the video.
