Cargo Ship Accident Leaves 4 Missing And 4,000 Kia/Hyundai Vehicles Totaled

South Korean cargo vessel carrying about 4,000 cars bound for the Middle East was listing heavily on Sunday off the coast of Georgia, an official of operator Hyundai Glovis said.

The U.S. Coast Guard said a pilot and 23 crew were aboard the Golden Ray when it overturned in St. Simons Sound and 20 people had been rescued.

Rescue teams were searching for four crew members believed to be inside the engine room of the vessel, the company and South Korea's foreign ministry said.

Erroneous headline. Those four crewmembers are still missing, so don't go burying them yet. It's a large ship, and they may still be safe somewhere within it.

Drilled a hole in the hull and found them in the engine room. They are OK, but getting them out will be tough.

You will able to identify the sunken Hyundai/Kia cars at the dealership from the salt water dripping from the frame and engine compartment.

Yes, at the Mombasa, Kenya or the Kabul, Afghanistan Hyundai dealerships. They won't show up in North America (except maybe in Louisiana).

Correct me if I am wrong >>>> If the electronics got water damaged, the cars are next to worthless. Perhaps the tires and wheels could be sold as used.
