YMMV / Disasters at Sea

• Funny Moments: Rare, but one such moment comes when after the MSC Napoli is beached, some of her containers break off and wash ashore. Countless people rummage through them and grab what they can, including a consignment of nappies^note or diapers as Americans call them, prompting this remark from an interviewee:
  Coast Guard Duty Commander Mark Rodaway: Now, my understanding of nappies are that they absorb water, and these ones had been in the English Channel, so quite what the attraction was, I'm not sure.
