I don't know if this made the news in the US, but late last year in the English channel between the UK and France the automotive cargo ship, the Tricolor capsised after a collision with another vessel, the Kariba. A few days later, the floating wreck was hit by another ship, the Nicola, and it sank.



Anyway, the ship is being salvaged for scrap, and there's some pretty interesting photos of it - cross-sectioned as the ship is cut up... so you get a great cross-section view of the insides! I thought you lot would find it interesting :-)

Quite amusing really, it was full of about 5000 expensive BMW's & the like. I seem to remember it was hit by a ship that knew all about the wreck, but just couldn't be bothered to move !
