It makes one wonder why they would risk hauling it all the way to Turkey to be scrapped. You would think it could have been done here and the steel used here. The ship was registered out of Toronto IIRC.

Enviro and OSHA laws!

It is SO expensive to even work in the Us or Canada's “clean” and working industrial sites that trying to cut out and scrap a messy old ship (or anything else) is only a cost-buster. It costs more for the labor and enviro servicing and cleaning than it does to tow the ship overseas, cut it up over there with non-OSHA (non-union) labor and dump the pollutions and dirt and old asbestos and old oil and old paint and old wire and old insulation and old trash over there, then send the scrap steel back as new Chinese steel.

Ever heard this tune ?

The concert footage is not of this song, but the video composition works well.
