The ship rolled over so every one of those cars will be smashed to pieces.

Default Wouldn't they just write them off & claim the insurance?
Whether it's specific the the shipping line or not, seems like it will cost some underwriter big bucks. Glad my cars already landed, too!

Default rolled on its side... the cars are in small containers..damage should be somewhat limited
to a smashed up side.

Saw a diver walking around on the hull with a Saab 93's bumper.. AHAHAHAH BIG D AHAHAHAHA!!!
