We Make Money Not Art finds this item, which actually took place on Feb. 10th. A container ship carrying shoes, hamburgers and toys from Asia, lost a bunch of its containers off the coast of the Netherlands. Some of the containers opened. And pretty soon...



Dutch articles 1, 2 document the event. From the very rough translations, it seems like people came and took what they wanted; and even though police were around, they only intervened if a fight broke out.
