Trawler sunk by own fish-filled nets

This story aired on the news today on spanish tv of a trawler off the costa brava sinking after its nets, filled with between 4 and 5 tonnes of fish, dragged her under...
Not sure of other details, report showed some pictures of divers cutting the nets free which were pumped full of mackeral and the hell knows what else. When I can find something in print I'll post a link or a translation here. Another absurd example of what's being done to the world in the name of convenience or profit.
