About 15 empty containers at Keppel Terminal fell into the water on Thursday due to strong winds.

In response to queries, a PSA Corp spokesman said they dropped from the wharf due to strong winds caused by a squall. Recovery of the containers is in progress, the spokesman added.

No one was injured, and the incident did not cause any disruptions at the port or to its operations.

It is like tornado. Humans also have to hug tightly to the tree trunks. Some trees can be up-rooted and some can be severed into half.

The containers are stacked on top of each other.

Not caused by strong winds but improper stacking. Violation of work safety.
