Description:

On October 29, 2012, Hurricane Sandy wreaked havoc on the eastern shoreline communities of the United States, causing over $60 billion dollars in damages and contributing to the death of at least 131 Americans. Overall, the storm claimed at least 253 lives in seven countries.

One of the most unusual scenes in the aftermath of the storm is this roller coaster, which fell from the Casino Pier amusement park and sits in the Atlantic Ocean. The city's mayor believes leaving the roller coaster where it currently stands would make "a great tourist attraction".

Note - this is not yet visible in Google Maps, but it is visible in Google Earth. Several devastated areas can be seen where homes and businesses were demolished.
