I smell big, no, huge, insurance claims.
 
According to the latest reports most of the cars (1200 Jags and Landrovers + 65 Minis) are relatively undamaged because they haven't moved which presumably means they are hanging on their axle straps. Early reports suggest the ballast pumps malfunctioned causing the severe list which forced the Captain and Pilot to make the decision to run aground.
 
Think there will be a, "Roll Over" sale? :devilgrin:

My father worked for the railroad and, IIRC correctly each car was insured for about $100 (back then) - the cost of a windshield or a scratch repair - it was cheaper in the long run to play the odds than insure for value. I suspect similar is true here.
 
Here you go Rick! A rare photo/drawing. I remember when this happened. I was a senior in high school at the time. It was in all the papers and on all the radio stations. PJ
