Current Event - SEARCH OF CANAL YIELDS SKELETON, 110 SUNKEN CARS

My current event for Elika's Humanities class this week on December 4, 2007 is about SEARCH OF CANAL YIELDS SKELETON, 110 SUNKEN CARS. Police divers went searching for stolen cars in Boca Raton, Florida. What they ended up finding was 110 submerged cars in a canal in a rural area area west of Boca Raton. Police were searching the Hillsborough Canal along Loxahatchee River Road near Broward County line for stolen or abondaned cars at 11 am. When they came across a mid 80's mercedes coupe containing bones that were spread across the river and passenger seats. They are not sure if the bones are human remains, but, they do know that they have been there for a very very long time. The mercedes had a smashed hood and cracked front and back windshields. They are unsure of wheather the remains are human or not because alligaters are known in the past to store the carcasses of deer or other animals in sunken vehicles to store them for later. Divers used sonar equipment to locate 110 submerged cars proabably stolen, and 27 of them had been pulled out from the water by mid afternoon. It is worth noting that the canal was 45 miles long, but, only 8 - 22 feet in depth.
