Looting -- M/V MSC Napoli
http://www.cargolaw.com/2007nightmare_msc.napoli.html
This is one of the best posts on Cargolaw.com and it documents an ongoing operation to salvage a ship that ran into some extremely rough weather in the English Channel earlier this month.
The photos are incredible – including actual shots of people looting BMW motorcycles that were in cargo containers that fell into the sea and were washed ashore. Imagine the force it takes to wash a container weighing several tons onto dry land!
Having lived through a few Hurricanes in the Caymans and having paid the price for the hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of damage to my home I feel for this shipping company. As far as the looting goes; it’s tempting but come on people, it's just wrong. And, if you don’t have a moral issue with stealing, at least be smart enough to not do it in front of somebody holding a camera and taking pictures!
