Dramatic video shows the moment nearly 70 shipping containers fell off a cargo ship Tuesday and were left bobbing in the ocean at the Port of Long Beach in California.

The containers were stationed at Pier G, and belonged to the vessel “Mississippi,” according to a report by FOX LA.

The U.S. Coast Guard set up a 250-yard safety zone as fire and police crews responded, according to the report.

Authorities have not confirmed any injuries.
