Moment Ships Sink At Sea Leaving 12 Sailors Missing

These videos show two dredging ships that collect sand and other material off the sea floor sinking into the sea leaving 12 sailors missing.

Sand carrier vessels ‘Jia Liang’ and ‘Dong Hong’ - both registered to mainland China - sent out distress calls on 6th October while operating in the Taiwan Strait.

One was reportedly a vessel which should only be used in rivers and could not withstand the 20-foot waves, causing it to capsize, while the other was reported to have simply sunk, although it is unclear if it was a river vessel too.
