Two ships collided head-on in Ontario’s Welland Canal on Saturday, video posted to social media shows.
Prior to the collision, both vessels appeared to be travelling in opposite directions on the same side of the canal, a key shipping route that connects Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.slowly advancing toward each other before colliding. Photos posted to Twitter by the Welland firefighters’ union showed each ship’s hull sustained damage in the incident.
Slowest collision ever. How could they not see and stop?
