How they salvaged another car carrier than sank, but I don't see this happening in 9,000 ft deep.

Capsized Car-Carrying Cargo Ship Cut in Half as Salvage Continues (caranddriver.com)

And they actually cut this one into several pieces.

I went up to St Simon's Island (about an hour drive for me) just to watch that operation for a bit. It was super cool.
I'd be surprised if they are salvaging anything from 9000ft though, not worth the effort.

can we keep the political garbage out of here? I don’t come to a Porsche forum to have to shoot down nonstop bull****.

FYI, it's not political. It's economic.

I found this video on how the big car hauling ships are loaded. Lots of good details. I think the one in the video is much bigger than the one in this thread.

I love internet financial advice and predictions.

It is looking like the market is beginning to discount Putin going down, which seems inevitable. The key will be which sectors stand to gain the most from a Putin loss.
