Default Container ship 'Rena' run aground off NZ

I was just checking the NZ news site www.stuff.co.nz about the stricken cargo ship off the coast, and near the bottom of the article I saw some quite heartbreaking news for one Ford owner. The article outlines that around 70 of the containers have fallen into the sea, mostly containing chemicals and some empty. When describing what was in the remaining containers, the article states the following: "...The remaining 1357 containers had food, general cargo, refrigerated goods, and one Mustang car..."

It's going to be potentially quite damaging to the environment, and I hope the shipping company's insurance covers the cleanup, but you have to feel for the owner of the Mustang right now. I hope they get it off safely.

Cheers
Jamie
