I'll add, Dr. Sal Mercagliano has an excellent YouTube channel that covers shipping (a topic he's a qualified expert in) and he has a video discussing this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JJmqCKtJnxM
The bottom line is that the alleged incident occurred in deep water, making an accidental, unnoticed anchor runnout *very* unlikely. He describes it as "A coincidence, and a very strange one," that this one vessel was seemingly over both cables just at the time they were severed, and gives a visual of maritime tracking to illustrate this.
Is "budweiser wassup commercial" the new rick roll?
This appears to be the actual video referenced, from the channel "What is Going on With Shipping?":

Oh no... this was a case of me being a little buzzed from Thanksgiving beverages, and overly confident in the content of what I was pasting. I apologize!
For the record, I had that commercial on tap because I ran into someone who thought that the origin of the "Wasssup" meme was from Scary Movie.
