Interesting pictures but I wouldn't have used the word 'ancient' the title.

nice pics

#6 Americans and Friendly fire...not much has changed.

Great selection.

Some explanation of the context would be useful, though.

i blame the terrorists

bout same as today

Were all these vechiles driven by Italians like with the Concordia?

Very nice pics, specially number 7, that americans and their friendly fire, is something cannot miss in every war they fight

#4 is a great pic - very dramatic

#7 and #8 are of the French liner Normandie. It was being outfitted to be a troop carrier but a fire broke out. Sabotage was suspected but not proven. It was eventually scrapped.
