In the port of Edinburgh (the capital of Scotland) there was a major accident. Suddenly, a huge ship leaned strongly to the side. He was in dry dock at the shipyard. The research vessel RV Petrel was previously owned by the American billionaire, one of the founders of Microsoft Corporation, Paul Allen.
The length of the Burevestnik (so you can translate the name of the ship) is 76 meters. Weight - 3,000 tons. Photos posted on social media following the crash show the Petrel tilted at about 45 degrees.

According to the Scottish Ambulance Service, 35 people were injured. Of these, 23 people had to be hospitalized. This has left the emergency room at the Edinburgh Royal Hospital (ERI) overwhelmed. Residents of the Scottish capital have been asked not to apply here unless absolutely necessary.
Five ambulances, an air ambulance, three trauma teams, a special operations team, three paramedic teams and a patient transport vehicle were sent to the shipyard to help the victims.
The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service said it had sent four fire engines and several specialists.
RV Petrel was docked in 2020 due to operational issues. It happened at the beginning of the nakovyri pandemic. Since then, the ship has not been used.
Paul Allen built it for deep sea searches for shipwrecks and war graves at sea. Thanks to the RV Petrel, the American heavy cruiser USS Indianapolis, which sank during World War II, was found at a depth of 5.5 km under water. Allen passed away in 2018.
