Cargo Convoy Disaster in Deep Space

A deep-space cargo convoy of massive containers and industrial modules suffers a single connector failure that triggers a cascading chain reaction of collisions. The sequence follows a ship weaving through spinning cargo, threading collapsing corridors, and diving under a drifting module to escape the expanding debris field.

Prompt

Deep space cargo convoy: massive containers and industrial modules being transported when a single failure triggers a cascading chain reaction.  
Wide shot: convoy moving in formation, huge cargo blocks linked together. 
Failure point: one connector snaps, a container drifting slightly off-path. 
Immediate danger: another module clips it, sending both into slow but unstoppable rotation. 
Chain reaction: collisions spread across the convoy, each impact changing trajectories. 
Close tracking: a ship weaving through spinning cargo, gaps constantly closing. 
Near-crush: two massive containers slam together just behind the ship. 
Tight squeeze: pilot threads through a collapsing corridor of shifting metal blocks. 
Momentum shift: a giant module starts drifting directly into the escape path. 
Last-second dive: ship drops under it, barely clearing the edge. 
Final moment: debris field expanding, everything still moving, no stable space left.  
Heavy, readable motion, physical weight, constant “closing gaps” tension.
