Ford Mustang drives out of the rubble in Tuscaloosa, AL - Click above to watch the video after the jump (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/29/ford-mustang-emerges-from-tornado-devastation-under-its-own-powe/#continued).
The death toll from Wednesday's tornadoes (http://www.autoblog.com/tag/tornado+damage/) has reached a staggering 204 in the state of Alabama alone. The once proud university town of Tuscaloosa, home to the multi-time NCAA National Champion Crimson Tide football team, lies in ruin. For now, there isn't much in the way of inspiring news from the state.
This morning, though, a video hit the web of a Tuscaloosa resident driving his Ford Mustang (http://www.autoblog.com/model/mustang) convertible out of the wreckage. The Mustang is far from a pretty sight, and likely won't be moving anywhere else under its own grunt any time soon, but it's inspiring nonetheless - a small glimmer that not all is lost.
True, a ragged, fifteen-year-old Ford (http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/) dragging itself from the ruins of a terrible natural disaster isn't exactly the feel-good hit of the summer. True, the car's miraculous survival doesn't serve as a sign that Alabama's return to normal is right around the corner. What it does show, on however small a level, is that there's always hope, no matter how bleak things get. Check out the video after the break (http://www.autoblog.com/2011/04/29/ford-mustang-emerges-from-tornado-devastation-under-its-own-powe/#continued). Thanks for the tip, Douglass!
