Just came across this and it got me wondering would it be possible to even save the cargo on board depending on how its secured. Feel sorry for the people who are waiting for deliveries.

Good to see no fatalities.

Impossible question to answer unless you are a) one of the crew b) part of the rescue/salvage team that have been inside.

Just like a car ferry I doubt cars are strapped down ,so at that angle I expect the load may have slipped.

Chicken or egg, given that they beached it when it started to list...?

I bet they hope so, it was a cargo of Bentleys on their way to Deutschland according to R4 this morning.

I'm going to guess at no.

Based on precedent from Mazda http://www.autoblog.com/2006/12/15/mazda-scrapping...
