There goes a beautiful Reef for divers across the world. The worst part is the article speculates that they didn't have the required authorization to be in that area. That alone calls for negligence on th company's part.

Here is a BBC story with a video showing whats left of the reef:
BBC

And the cruise ship company calls it an "unfortunate incident". Grrrr. Understatement much?

😱 am planning a trip to Raja Ampat reefs in November, the reef area destroyed reported at 145,000 square miles is impossible - 100 x 1500 miles - the correct unit should be square feet - yeesh, FoxNews 😏
JakartaPost states 13,000 square meters - still, an outrageous crime against nature.
