Hahaha.... today two cargo ships collided in the English Channel. One of them sank immediately, taking with it hundreds of brand new luxury cars. The list included BMW, Saab, Audi and a few others. The cargo was valued at over $50,000,000!!!!!! It is presently resting on the bottom of the ocean. Anybody got some scuba gear?

LOL! What a sweet avatar!!!*Back on topic*

Yeah, I heard about this on the news.... I can't wait to see how big of a brick the insurance company is going to sh*t once they hear about this.... I can imagine that ferry company will have a tough time finding insurance after this is settled....

How would you collide 2 cargo ships? I mean wouldn't they see it coming and have enough time to avoid each other? its not like there's traffic or anything.

Do you know how long it takes to alter the course of one of those things?!!!

I don't either, but it's a damn long ways!!! They have radar though.... redundant systems as well. It must have just been stupid human error.... or Joe Hazelwood(sp?) is at the helm again!
