Flying over a large capsized cargo ship, St. Simons, GA, 4K 60fps

Here we fly the drone over St. Simons Sound, between St. Simons and Jekyll Island in coastal Georgia, to take a close look at the 654 foot long, 40,000 ton capsized car freighter Golden Ray, which capsized here last September with 4,200 new cars on board. In this flight, you can see that several lifting lugs have been welded to the side (top now) of the ship. They are going to cut the ship into pieces and lift the pieces onto barges using these lifting lugs.

The cars are apparently still inside the ship.

We also take a look at St. Simons Island, including the lighthouse, and go offshore to see some dolphins.

The investigating team for this accident determined that the root cause was failure to use water ballast in their ballast tanks combined with an unbalanced condition resulting from several vehicle loading and unloading operations before this incident. I suspect they weren't using ballast in order to be lighter overall and save on fuel.
