An example of ‘click bait’… they didn’t have a picture of the ship in question, so they used a pic of another ship with a nice explosion/fire/smoke.

Congratulations to the The National Post for the most click-bait move I’ve seen recently. Didn’t have a scary enough picture of the MV Helios Ray on fire, so you use a year-old picture of another ship? I checked a bunch of other news organizations across the world; none managed to stoop so low. Even The Daily Mail and the NY Post used actual pictures of the actual ship involved!
