Yes I am a cross posting whore. I stole this from General chit chat on pirate.
Pretty cool stuff - Ship (Cougar Ace) is carrying 4,703 Mazda cars in the Aleutian Islands in Alaska has a ballast accident and tips on its side. $103 Million in cargo, $100 million dollar ship that is sitting on its side. A crew comes in for $10 million dollars and rights the ship.
It's a long read but they did a great job of telling the story. I can only imagine what that job would be like.
