TL;DR Summary

The US Navy research vessel Petrel, once owned by Microsoft billionaire Paul Allen, partially tipped over at a dry dock in Scotland, injuring 33 people. The ship was dislodged by gusty winds and left at a 45-degree angle. Emergency response services, including 12 ambulances, an air ambulance, and three trauma teams, were deployed to the scene. The Petrel was retrofitted to serve as an underwater research and exploration vessel and discovered several lost shipwrecks during its service years. An investigation will explore what went wrong.
