A shocking video posted online shows the moment a brand new offshore vessel capsized during its launch at a shipyard. I counted at least six people (maybe a seventh) on the deck of the vessel when it rolled over without warning. A tarp can be seen covering the name of the vessel.

A gif of the video was posted to the site Imgur last week, but no details about the incident have come to light so far.
