Tnat's a sad story. luckily the entire crew was safely rescued. There are folks over on Rennlist who had cars on that ship. This is the first article I've seen that has mentioned anything about controlling the fire or salvaging the ship. I wonder if any of the cars will be ok, between the fire, smoke damage and whatever is used to put out the fire.

Thankfully some of the cars had 9-1-1 on them so the crew knew what to dial.

I'll see myself out.

Fingers crossed another 61 friends/family send me a text/email with this story again today - LOL

Hopefully the batteries weren't the cause...

Feel bad for anyone w a vehicle on ship; at least they'll go back to front of production line :confused:
