Container Goes Plop Into Oakland Estuary

The Coast Guard is currently broadcasting warnings and preventing some vessels from entering the Oakland estuary until a container that fell off a ship Saturday night can be located underwater. The container got knocked off a ship's deck by a crane around 8:30 p.m., and divers are now headed out to try to locate it. Given the shallow depth and the size of the thing, we figure this won't take long. Hope that container wasn't full of shampoo or something more toxic! [Examiner]
