Remember that ship that sank with all of the cars on it?
Remember that car carrier ship that sank last year? Well apparently they are using a cable to cut the ship into pieces and then remove the pieces one at a time. If you are looking to kill an hour check out http://www.tricolorsalvage.com. I can only imagine the sound that the cable makes when slicing through the ship.
Now for the grim pictures.. I especially like the blue Cross Country that seemed to meet the fate of the cutting wire…

Cool link, Eric. I'm going over to Sweden for Euro Delivery in the summer (with a trip to Stuttgart). I hope my car makes it back OK.

A friend I sent this to said that the sound is awful. He said you could hear each individual cutting element, cut. At least it was underwater...

The next Volvo I drive in, I'll be checking the seat first to see if it's spongy.
