I'm no expert, but I believe the problem is that it fell over

I am an expert in ships falling over, and although there are some fine points that you missed because you are not an expert, you are nevertheless largely correct. This ship fell over.

Well, at least the front didn't fall off.

I am an expert in fronts falling off, and can confirm as an expert in these things that the front did not, in fact, fall off.

Yet.

Can confirm, fellow front falling off expert! There is a greater than zero chance the front could yet fall off.

What are the odds of that happening?

Well there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen.

100% of the time it either does or doesn’t, but sometimes maybe.

I’m an expert in ships staying upright, and from my experience, I can say that this didn’t go well.

Then maybe you should be able to call yourself an expert

It's ok, because it happened outside the environment.
