#1 Must have been somebody disregarding the rules on labeling hazardous cargo.

#2 Wow, lucky she is still afloat. Looks like some of these pics were taken by people in the water.

#4 Was the explosion from inside the ship or from inside a container?

#5 It happened in a container. They were carrying some chemical solvent, but also a lot of regular manufactured items. Bound for Rotterdam.

This happened off the coast of Yemen.

#6 Correction: the upper hull plating was blown out in a way that suggests the explosion might have occurred in a tank rather than in a container.

#7 A report from the Yemeni state news agency Saba said the 5,550-teu M/V Hyundai Fortune (built 1996) has already sunk 130 NM off Aden following the blaze on March 21. Hence we have been receiving these rumors all day long. We rechecked our photos of M/V Hyundai Fortune from March 23 and reconfirmed the absence of Alzheimer's. This may explain why neither CNN nor Fox are headquarted in Yemin. March 22

Heh.
