More than 50 shipping containers tumble into sea at California port; no injuries reported

More than 50 shipping containers fell from a berthed ship into the water at California's Port of Long Beach on Tuesday (September 9), a spokesman for the nation's second-busiest seaport said. No injuries were reported. The containers fell from the Portugal-flagged Mississippi while it was berthed at the Pier G container terminal. The Mississippi arrived in Long Beach from China's Yantian port. Cargo operations at the terminal were temporarily suspended as crews worked to secure the containers, public information officer Art Marroquin said.
