We got quite close to the wreckage of the deli
and I have to tell you,
it is incredible to be able to get that close
because you really get a sense of the enormity of
the task at hand and what the governor is describing
there, just how difficult this is going to be.
They have already started to remove pieces of the bridge.
They are cutting them and hauling them off,
but they have to do that step by step.
So being up close really gave you a sense of
just how.
Important, but how careful they have to be.
You know, I spoke with members of the US Army
Corps of Engineers as well as the Coast Guard who
walked us through the process as they go out there
every single day. This is happening around the clock.
I want you to listen to the captain who described
to us as we were on the boat heading out,
taking the same path that the Dally would have taken
when it was on its way out and when it
struck the bridge.
Take a listen.
I know you just got out of a briefing.
Where do things stand as of today?
The governor and all the other officials yesterday talked about
how this is a 24/7 operation.
A lot of people are have been working on this.
Where do things stand as of today?
So I think you'll see when you get out to
the site like the how big these pieces are and
you're just seeing the pieces above the water.
So below the water line is just a really tangled
mess of of material debris.
It's all twisted.
So there's a lot of assessments going on right now
with they use size head sonar,
they use divers underwater.
'S equipment to kind of get a picture of what's
under there.
So what's really going to have to happen is they're
going to have to be cut material,
they're going to have to rig material,
then lift it out of the water and move it.
