Ship left to burn

[Bay Kid]

Do you wonder why a ship full of cars is left to burn? Could it be the batteries?

[Chi-Town]

From the WSJ:

Salvage crews boarded the Felicity Ace merchant ship that caught fire with a cargo of luxury Porsche, Bentley, Lamborghini, Audi and Volkswagen vehicles, and began towing the vessel to safety, the operator of the ship said Friday.

Evidently not much left to burn.

What, my Bentley went up in smoke? And I had been waiting so long for it.

Just kidding.

Laugh but what about the Lamborghini I was giving my wife for her birthday?

OK people, if what they say started this fire from battery's, stop to think about the general public, (you and I)
that pay 50, 60, and 70 + dollars for electric vehicles that we can't park them in our garage because of the battery's.

What a world we live in.

[Two Bills]

So many electric golf carts and cars bursting into flames all over TV.
Houses destroyed.
Roads blocked with debris.
Complete mayhem.
Stay safe!

Those tires will burn forever. Very sad.

[asianthree]

Sad part is the soon to be owners of the cars will have to wait another 6 months to a year:ohdear:

[tophcfa]

Apparently the fire department was called, but they weren’t able to get out into the middle of the ocean in time.

[Garywt]

They said it was Lithium batteries. How many have these parked in their garage car or cart. I read a car dealer had a Bentley on the ship that he had bought, said every car on the ship had already been sold. Sounds like their delivery time has been extended some.

No mention on where the fire started. So many nice cars.

Sad that no one has mentioned the ecological disaster this has caused. Air, sea and land. Got all 3 good with this one.
Future generations will be so proud of us... if we still exist.

Good news is ship has sunk so fire is out.
