That's more analogous to the bitoinica situation than sinking ships.  They were driving too fast on their new motorcycle and they weren't wearing safety gear...and they were pulling a trailer with their bike, and the trailer had a bunch of other people's fine china in it.

Edit:

...and the fine china was willingly handed over to the careless motorcycle driver, and the people who handed it over knew they were handing their china over to a guy pulling a trailer with a motorcycle...
