I agree with you, but still, why wouldent they pull it up on land and crush it, so that loose debris doesent float away? And why not sell the boat to someone who could get use out of it?

I'm not a boatman but looking at the location and assuming the craft is swamped/damaged, would the location have the facilities to beach then remove it for destruction, repair. I admit they had the ware withall to mobilise 2 decent size excavators but they might have already been up the beach a way doing something else. Having said all that it does seem a crying shame.

that is the stupidest thing i have ever seen.
at the very least put a chain on the thing and drag it inland with one of the excavators, and if one cant pull it use both. but dont run 2 machines in the surf. i dont care what the reasoning is you cant tell me they didnt spill fuel when the tore out the tanks. plus those boats have toilets/greywater tanks . even an american who typically makes bad decisions on the job whould have handled that smarter.:Banghead:Banghead

it'd be my guess those pics were for our viewing pleasure.....i would bet the engines, fuel tanks, holding tanks....were already removed before it was shoved ashore...and the few pics were taken with people on board to make it look good. probably was the aftemath of a prior storm.
i mean really....why not throw a cable on it...get it up on dry land....then do your dismantle...this smells of a rigged photo shoot
