If that's a hard-rock bottom and the ship hit it after plunging 1,250-odd feet then you can anticipate it will certainly cause a lot of damage. |
It's very lightweight and quick to deploy . . . that's what's really needed there. |
That's a long ways for a ship that size to fall. I would expect there would be a lot of impact damage if the bottom is hard bottom, which it usually is in that area. |
The plan is simply to go up and survey the wreckage, see what condition it's in and whether it's relatively intact or not relatively intact. |

We should be diving late Saturday, I would think. |
We should be there and diving . . . Saturday morning. |
We think it'll be in more than one piece. |
