Yeah it's from the 1964 alaska earthquake, it's linked above.Originally posted by MattB View PostThat first Alaska pic, purely coincidental I assume, but that's a 58, 59, and a 60 Chevy all in a row. Maybe I'm getting old and forgetting shit, but I never remembered an earthquake that big in Alaska in the 60's."When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic." -Benjamin Franklin

Singapore. Where nearly every offshore rig shipyard is.Originally posted by Sean88gt View PostWhere was it manufactured? Maersk is one of the two groups that I'm convinced run the world.
They are actually building four - this is just the first.
