Sailboats in Tsunami aftermath

The level of destruction is incredible.

Telegraph.co.uk - 30 Ships swept ashore by Tsunami


Best of luck to all those folks.

I imagine the smaller ones can be trucked off, repaired, and used again, but can they move the large ones and refloat them? Will they just come in with torches and turn them all into scrap metal?

There is something very eerie about seeing big ships on dry land. It's creepy. Or maybe it's just me.

The yaqcht on top of the bridge and the Cat on top of the house are hillarious. Well, would be, if no one died

Many of those ships seem fine if they can be got back in the water.
