Do you guys remember when this car-carrying ship called the Tricolor sank in the English Channel with about 2000 luxury cars on board? Well, they removed the ship (and the cars) because other ships kept hitting it (oops). There's this great website that documents the salvage.
Basically, they put two cranes on either side of the ship and then used a cutting wire between them to slice the ship into 9 pieces. The pieces were lifted onto a barge and towed away!
All the cars ended up being scrapped. I just can't believe how awesome this is.

It is almost as awesome as the Jeff Goldblum post.
