The beaches on the East Coast of Florida are littered with stuff

In spite of a trip up from a couple miles down, it still seems to be
intact

Nothing to do with the El Faro, Just another Tote maritime fiasco.
BTW do you really think those packages would look like they just flew
off the shelf after being 18.000' underwater?

The containers actually floated free while the ship was breaking up.
Our news was talking about it the other day. I agree, if this was
really 3 miles down, it would be about the size of a sugar cube.


Maybe not. They are vacuum packed.
