The cargo ship Morning Midas sank in the North Pacific after its crew abandoned ship due to an uncontrollable fire. The vessel, loaded with approximately 3,000 vehicles, including electric and hybrid cars, sank under severe conditions about 415 miles off the Alaskan coast. U.S. Coast Guard confirmed there was no visible pollution, while salvage crews monitored the site for any debris. All crew members were safely evacuated and faced no injuries, although the fate of the cargo remains uncertain as the ship sank in deep waters soon after the fire.
"The Morning Midas sank in international water off Alaska's Aleutian Islands chain after crew members abandoned ship due to an onboard fire that left the carrier dead in the water."
"Fire damage compounded by bad weather and water seepage caused the carrier to sink in waters about 16,404 feet deep and about 415 miles from land."
