1,400 new cars, most of them Mitsubishis on their way from Japan and Thailand to Finland went to the bottom of an icy North Sea when the 485 foot car carrier Baltic Ace sunk off the coast of the southern Netherlands last night.

The ship had collided with the container ship Corvus J.  According to Reuters, the collision was caused by "human error." The ship had a crew of 24. Most of them were rescued by helicopters, at least five died, some are missing.
