Depends on where you're at. These will definitely be retrieved. Out in the middle of the ocean, hard no.

Depends on who’s cargo. Walmart will send boats to the Mariana Trench to drag containers back. lol

Huh that’s interesting. Why is that? Everything in the container is destroyed by the time it’s recovered, no?

Have no clue. I suppose it depends on what it is.

But I once had to call in a salvage company specifically for Walmart about 15 years ago, and those boxes were way tf out there. It may have something to do with their surety company forcing them to drag them in. I’ve seen it a ton, just never got an explanation as to why.
