Don’t have the exact date as to when this incident took place, but according to some reports this happened in the start of 2012.
A total of 64 cars were aboard a Russian cargo ship Astongate, which was traveling from Toyama, Japan, to Vladivostok, Russia.
After a sea storm hit the ship — 52 of them ended up at the bottom of the sea. It’s assumed that the accident occurred mainly because of poor lashing; however, there are no confirmed reports on the same.
Note : There is no concrete information available online about the accident or the reason behind it.
