500 feet long. Theres nearly 300 crew on board. As you can see, its sustained pretty serious damage. It got that damage when it collided tonight with this other ship. This is a japanese container ship. Its a special vessel. You can see the damage to the container ship is comparatively lighter. Its to the front left side to the japanese container ship, the port side of the bow. These two very large ships apparently collided with each other about 65 miles off the coast of japan in the middle of the night local time, 2 30 a. M. Local. 1 30 p. M. East coast time in the united states. Were not sure exactly why this collision happened. Things like this do not happen very often. Its a big ocean. And these are two immense and modern ships. But nbcs excellent pentagon producer whos been on this story since it first broke, she tells us the fitzgerald suffered significant damage as you can see on its right side, and the damage is apparently both above and below the water line, which is bad.

So thats where we are with that. Here its as if the trial ended and then begin right again. The prosecution saying they are going to retry bill cosby. A process that could get started in as soon as 120 days.
