@Pacerace100 There is a Romanian ship that has been in the water since th 60's and it is still standing. Look for "epava costinesti". You'll see it.

@Vlakpage It was very sad to see the way in which the ship was ripped apart.

That truck driver at 5:16 sure got blasted in his face by that steam or smoke before he jumped back into the truck cab!

The guy did move pretty quick when the leaking fire extinguishing cylinder was falling his way.

Pretty cool, but I think the SS American Star is more interesting, its sitting in very shallow water and after 15 years of the waves pounding against it and its almost completely collapsed under the water now. The stern collapsed in only 2 years I believe, since then the bow has been slowly deteriorating.

I do agree with you, as the SS American Star had a lot more history behind it and was a more interesting ship to look at, especially the way in which the ship broke up.
The interesting thing about the Riverdance was the way in which she was broken up, with only three or four hours between tides it was quite a challenge for the demolition guys.
