Salvage experts are still trying to figure out what to do with the Hoegh Osaka, the carrier ship that ran aground off the Isle of Wight on Saturday evening while carrying 4,600 tonnes of cargo. Meanwhile, Getty Images photographer Matt Cardy has captured just how dire and breathtaking the situation really is.
