Morning Midas
The car carrier Morning Midas has finally sank. It caught fire of the Alaskian coast a couple of weeks ago.

The ship was loaded with about 3,000 new vehicles intended for a major Pacific port in Mexico. It was not immediately clear if any of the cars were removed before it sank, and Zodiac Maritime did not immediately respond to messages Tuesday. I wonder how they would have removed any cars, what floated tem out

Re: Morning Midas
If as reported there were a lot of EV cars onboard , likely an insurance scam, get more for them on the insurance payout than they would sitting on a dealer forecourt, no one wants them. Here in the UK loads of discounts & % deals. One way of beating the tariff trade war. 
But the good news is everyone got off safe and seems no real pollution issues!!!! well that is until the batteries start to degrade and poison the fish.
Think she is pretty deep several thousand feet down.
