I'll add, Dr. Sal Mercagliano has an excellent YouTube channel that covers shipping (a topic he's a qualified expert in) and he has a video discussing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJmqCKtJnxM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJmqCKtJnxM
The bottom line is that the alleged incident occurred in deep water, making an accidental, unnoticed anchor runnout *very* unlikely. He describes it as "A coincidence, and a very strange one," that this one vessel was seemingly over both cables just at the time they were severed, and gives a visual of maritime tracking to illustrate this.

- EA-3167 2y agoOh no... this was a case of me being a little buzzed from Thanksgiving beverages, and overly confident in the content of what I was pasting. I apologize! For the record, I had that commercial on tap because I ran into someone who thought that the origin of the "Wasssup" meme was from Scary Movie.
