Imagine having one of them fall on your head?
Industry experts estimate that anywhere from 2,000 to 10,000 containers fall off ships each year, less than 1% of the number of containers sent by sea annually but representing a huge cost to those who lose cargo to the ocean. The loss of even one shipping container, which can be 20 feet to 40 feet long and 8 feet high and may hold millions of small parts, could shut down a manufacturing line.
From last summer's road trip out to Western Colorado. I was intrigued by all the various containers located at this site in Olathe, CO. Olathe is Sweet Corn Country.
I used to come here more when I needed stuff for school..but it's still cool to look around and be like "WHOA CONTAINERS."
A container from the shipwrecked Rena on Orokawa Bay beach. It was filled with timber when I saw it. But later emptied and turned into a beach tower. www.sunlive.co.nz/news/21386-tower-built-from-rena-debris...
‎#TP85 Baskets, bags, and boxes: containers often go unnoticed. Make a photo focused on the container rather than the contents.
I love this - ARMANI & BEN SHERMAN in a Container. Workmen mingling with happy shoppers.
my first time back ot Christchurch since the quakes... I lived here for over 10 years so it was emotional for sure!
A few thoughts.............
Today was my first visit to Chch since the quakes.., the sun shone, the water glistened, ducks swam on the Avon and people walked their dogs at Sumner.....
Ballantynes has reopened and the containers painted up as stores are awesome..great colour, flower planting, wheel barrows, construction men and people everywhere in the city... Wonderful to see.
Looking beyond the cliff faces are ragged or rugged reminders of what happened to this once tranquil city. Small luxury homes perched precariously atop cliffs with their verandahs already down at the bottom!! Stark reminders.
Not one church seemed to be unscathed - And there were so many beautiful stone churches! Container walls cheek by jowl line roads, some decorated to soften the reality of what happened here.... Pop up shops and cafes keeping the spirits alive.
God bless Christchurch..

Shipping containers offer safe, affordable housing in Brighton. QED Property recently collaborated with WCEC Architecture and the Brighton Housing Trust to build a new shipping container-based housing development in Brighton, UK, for people at risk of homelessness.
Richardson's Yard opened in December 2013 and is located in central Brighton on former commercial land that would have otherwise remained underused.
The development comprises 36 dwellings in all, that are constructed from a number of standard 12.9 metre (40-ft) shipping containers. Inside, the containers feature sleeping quarters, toilet and kitchen.
