can you please explain how these containers can fall off ships so easily? Aren't they tied down or something?

I was wondering that too. Like that scene in "The Perfect Storm" where the containers go overboard - they didn't appear to be fastened down at all. I read this article earlier and the 10,000 number really shocked me. Do they usually sink or just break up?
