Also, wonder if there were any human remains inside it...given how it came out of the mud (upside down)?

csThor Team Daidalos Senior Member Registered: 03/06/01 Posts: 2551 Loc: Germany	Actually it wasn't restored - it was cut to pieces and sold as scrap. _________________________ Team Daidalos's resident coffee maker and wisecrack Intel i7 960 @ 3.2 GHz - ASUS Rampage III Gene Republic of Gamers - 6GB RAM OCZ CL7 XTC Platinum PC3-12800 - ZOTAC GeForce GTX 480 - 64GB Crucial RealSSD C300 SATA II - 1TB Western Digital WD1002FAEX SATA II - Creative Soundblaster Xi-Fi Titanium - Windows 7 Professional 64bit
