The Race To Save The Cougar Ace
March 5th, 2008
This is a long(ish) read but it’s worth it. Thanks to Stu for passing it on.
Cargo ship the Cougar Ace is in big trouble and Mazda are sweating because there are $103million worth of brand new cars on board.
Time to call in a crack team of deep sea divers, computer modellers, underwater welders and big engine repairers - plus their leader Rich Habib, Senior Salvage Master.
They spend their lives travelling round the world saving ships.
Save this one and they’ll get a massive pay-off. But is it worth risking your life for the bounty?
What makes this story great is that it’s true. I bet the Hollywood execs are all over it.
