When the Sea Struck Back: The Vanishing of MS München

著者：
A lifeboat hung twenty meters above the waterline with its forward-block pins bent backward - bent by a force striking from the sea side at a height no wave was supposed to reach. Twenty-eight crew left Bremerhaven on 7 December 1978 aboard a ship dubbed "practically unsinkable," and two months later rescuers found empty lifeboats and nothing else - what struck the München, and why did that single radio call go nowhere?
In this episode, we lay out the sequence of events, the ship's design and cargo, and the communications that failed to trigger a rescue, asking whether the evidence points to an extraordinary wave or something else the ocean kept.
