Some footage from Bangladesh, post M5.5 earthquake. This is probably lateral spreading and slumping associated with earthquake-triggered liquefaction. Liquefaction is a huge hazard in Bangladesh, because so many people live in low-lying areas on saturated sediments.

Notice how adding water is bad.
Follow the instructions that come with your turkey fryer. Use your turkey fryer away from your home. Have a working fire extinguisher.

That was the immediate cause, but it was poor ship design and unauthorized modifications that meant that they could not restart the main engine after the power failure. Without the main engine, they couldn't steer. I enjoyed this video on it: youtu.be/znWl_TuUPp0
