Looks like a good old fashioned road rage. No whistles / horns. Just a cut off and crash.

That could have been a lot of containers in the drink.

I does not look either cut the engines after the collision! Why did the one on the right turn into the other (coming up on the bottom?)

Maybe metaphorically.

Actually the boat is presently in the Persian Gulf with an ETA at Port DAMMAM of 2022-01-17 10:00 AM local (UTC+3). Presently doing 19.5 kn on a course of 272 degrees.

Start at www.marinetraffic.com and search for the vessel by name. Great fun!
