Dig a pit either side, using an item called
a "mole", burrow under the wreck


Why start cutting from below?


Because that is the only viable way to get
enough force on the cable into the wreck.


You can prove this how?


Its just basic physics. To get anything like the same force on
the cable with it above the wreck you'd need at least a pulley
etc at each side and would have to attach it to the sea bed
somehow. Much easier to do it with the cable under the wreck.
