This is wild. If the ship was abandoned it could be really bad. I'd imagine any vehicles onboard could have bad smoke damage at the very least considering the fire started in the cargo hold.

Making the best of a bad situation (and crossing my fingers for the guys on board), possibly time to change your handle to 2023GT3?

Very glad everyone is safe.

How quickly do you think we will get an update? The thought of going back to pre-production is…
