But... it wasn't for crabs. The ship was carrying 5000 Japanese cars to Canada. There's a joke in there somewhere about "flooding" the market, but I can't get it to come out right. (btw- the crew said it only took 10 minutes for the ship to go from upright, staring down a killer wave, to laying on it's side in the water.) http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/hi_fires_july_26_2006.html#comment-48318 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2006/07/hi_fires_july_26_2006.html#comment-48318 Wed, 26 Jul 2006 11:40:28 -0600 polyester??!"
