    Can I guess which side they put all the SUV’S?

    Good news for the US car industry! I wonder if the reason is a seal team tried to scuttle the boat and only half the charges went off.

    Wow, I wonder what the salvage rights are going to be on that? Just the steel alone seems like it would be worth salvaging.

    What caused the list?’ I sense a future episode of ‘Deep Sea Detectives.’
