52 Import Cars Slide Of Cargo Ship Into The Sea!

[TransAmDan]

Thinking of buying an import? Then make sure you know how it’s being transported on the cargo ship!


This incredible clip shows the fate of 64 cars loaded aboard cargo ship Astongate which was traveling from Toyama, Japan, to Vladivostok, Russia.
After hitting a storm out at sea, 52 of the cars ended up over the side and now rest at the bottom of the sea… ouch!

Does the insurer even begin to cover that?

Looks like they were tied down at some point. Perhaps more chains, as just one car getting loose in the middle will gradually knock others and they become loose too. I to wonder how the insurance panned out on that.

Big oops! I would not be happy if my car was on there!

Yeouch - the poor owners of those cars - looking forward to their new car being imported!

Maybe they'll get an upgrade of whatever they've imported?
