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


Why start cutting from below?


How else are you going to get the tension on the cutting
cable from two vessels that are floating on the surface?
Or do you reckon they could use submarines and pull
the cable downwards.


Floats does it?


Doesnt produce anything like the force needed.

In that case why not get it down there by
attaching something heavy alongside?
Steel cable for instance?


Much easier to mole it under the wreck.
