Unless a dangerous, last-ditch operation on the high seas succeeds, a massive cargo ship will smash into the southwestern coast of France in the next 48 hours, authorities said.
“We will do everything within our power to succeed,” Emmanuel de Oliveira, vice admiral of France’s Atlantic Maritime Prefecture, said of Monday morning’s Hail Mary salvage maneuver. “If this does not succeed, the Modern Express will run aground on the sandy coast … between Monday night and Tuesday night.”
The dramatic maritime salvage operation seems like something out of a Hollywood movie, complete with stormy weather, helicopter rescues and a runaway ship headed toward a national park and a scenic seaside resort.
