An arrest has been made in the case of the fiery North Sea collision, which saw two large ships —one at anchor— erupt in balls of flame. 

English Police have announced the arrest of a 59-year-old man, understood to be the captain of the cargo ship, and charged him with suspicion of gross negligence manslaughter. 

UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Andrew Dickens the charge is due to the fact that one man is still missing, presumed dead. 

He says it’s also due to the fact that conditions were good at the time of the collision, so people can’t understand how the crash could’ve occurred.
