Interesting story from the Wall Street Journal about how Mazda is destroying 4,703 brand new cars worth $100 Million.  They were cars that were on the Cougar Ace a ship that partially capsized and almost sunk.  Mazda is not sure if the cars were damaged or not.  Just to make sure they don’t get sued in the future Mazda decided to destroy all the cars.  So how do you destroy four thousand cars?  Here’s the story from the WSJ.  Plus, Wired Magazine has an article about the “Sea Cowboys” who righted the Cougar Ace.  A difficult and dangerous job.  One man died in the process.
