December 28th, 2011 04:59 PM #1Thailand's worst flood in 50 years claimed the lives of 610 people and caused billions in damage, but with the waters slowly receding, the extent of the damage is coming into focus.
Among the tens of thousands of businesses affected by the disaster, Honda hasn't been spared – its factory in the Ayutthaya province was hit hard, and in an effort to assure that damaged vehicles never make it to consumers, the Japanese automaker has begun to scrap over 1,000 vehicles damaged during the flood.
Honda workers have begun disposing of row upon row of Brio and City subcompacts submerged during the flooding using construction equipment and vehicle crushers to demolish the 1,055 vehicles. The tragic yet oddly beautiful gallery above chronicles the aftermath and resulting destruction.
The newly launched Brio... ouch!

All parts are 100% recycled.
Besides, there are still an abundance of parts from Ondoy, Sendong, etc....
Even the wheel rim are recycled. Before it was shipped off to the shredder, acetylene was used to "spot damage" the rims, making them useless to would be scavengers.

It takes more time, energy and more importantly it cost more to reuse or refurbish any of those any parts.
Can't really blame Honda for publicizing the event. After all their manufacturing plant received enormous amount of attention/coverage from the media when it was inundated two months ago. They are on the defense. They need to show the world what they are doing lest the buying public gets paralyzed with anything Honda made in Thailand.
Buhay na buhay ang BGC this evening. Bukas halos lahat ng restaurants. Sabi pa nung isang cashier...
Traffic!
