Will be interesting to find out what happened. If someone
accidently hit
the wrong button during a course change it's one thing,
but if there is a
control glitch..... yikes.
Other possible contributor would be "stabilizers".
As for "top heavy".... she does look it, but the reality
is that she
probably isn't.

Car haulers look amazingly top heavy, like a gust of wind
would blow one right over.

They look like nothing I've ever seen, certainly not like a
ship.

A lot of modern cruise ships look like some kind of
household appliance.

I wonder if the stability is a problem and we just don't
hear much about it? If a cruise liner capsizes, it will be
in the news though!

I remember when I was a youngun seeing a shoe box floating
down a creek. Maybe the car hauler designer saw the same
thing?
