Wow wont need a MD (when they wash ashore)

Depending on buoyancy, load, etc. and if they were in the Gulf Stream, they may hit a lower layer and ride up and into the Northern Atlantic. Have seen videos of underwater with the Cigar/speed boats that may have run drugs that were scuttled and instead of going all the way down, got caught in the stream and rode up the East coast and out, underwater. If they do come ashore, yeah RTR, no scoop needed! Maybe a dozer or two.

Man, those must have been some rough seas off the mid-Atlantic coast during Winter Storm Riley!

Those were probably the containers with the next shipment of Minelabs equinox detectors.

We had 55mph gusts 100miles inland. No telling what they were out to sea
