WOT: Anyone order a BMW lately?
 

...well you might be subject to serious delays. BMW North America had an accident at their sea landing yard in Jersey.

Check out the damage in this post on the Bimmer Forums

I occasionally help unload similar car ships in Tacoma,WA or Portland,OR.

That BMW ship must have gone through a heck of a storm. What with the car strapped down from every direction and brakes set, it would take a lot to cause that much havoc.......

my understanding was it is a dockside accident that occured during the offload process, when cars were not taken off correctly and the weight shifted, it wasn't an at-sea episode... I think they unloaded the lower decks before the upper decks... or something like that
