I wish I could describe how satisfying it is to saw through something that big. It really is the most awesome thing I've ever done.

I was thinking:

Shipwreck-worker-dude: "Hey boss, let's use these old anchor chains to lift that sunken ship."

Shipwreck-recovery-Boss: "Well, sounds good. We need to rig up a big a-frame, but it just might work!"

A few weeks later:

Shipwreck-recovery-Boss: "OK, start lifting her out."

Five minutes later:

Shipwreck-recovery-Boss: "Oh crap, oh crap! STOP! It's slicing through the hull!!!!"

Shipwreck-worker-dude: "Hey boss, let's use the old anchor chins to lift slice-up that sunken ship."

I believe the rope saw method was first used to raise the Kursk. By the same company that made that video, Smit Salvage.

Me neither.

I remember the Dutch used a Carbide diamond coated cable moving back and forth to saw through the Titanium hull of the "Kursk" to cut off the forward torpedo room prior to lifting her.

That was my first thought as well. I remember reading about a beached cargo ship somewhere in S.E. Asia. The locals swarmed it like ants on a piece of fruit. It was mostly gone before the salvage company could get to it.

Definitely just dull, oval shaped anchor chain, no sharp edges on it.
it basically binds up on the ships steel against the leading face of each link as it is pulled in one direction. Just keep applying force until that link tears the steel out the way, then repeat. It helps to keep the tension as high as possible, for this application it's around 300 tons of force being pulled.

You may also like another favorite channel of mine, the USCSB or United States chemical safety board’s official channel.

Very good informative overviews of industrial accidents.

Of course they always have to add how more regulation would’ve prevented it (even if none of the current regs did because it was sheer stupidity or incompetence) but I find them interesting.

Always a good look at how failures occur at multiple levels for big disasters to happen.

My personal favorite was one where a worker tried to removed a valve crank from a pressurized pipe. He unscrewed all the bolts and, predictably the pressure flung it off and diesel fumes went everywhere.

It causes a nearby diesel work truck to begin spooling its engine up because of the diesel cloud.

Then the cloud ignited. Killed a few people if I recall correctly.

It was one of those things where as I am watching the overview I am thinking, “Isn’t that pipe pressurized? While he unscrews the bolts” Then bam it blows off and I’m like oh yep it was.

This is the largest crane vessel in North America we are using, and it still needs to be cut into 8 pieces to lift it.
~40k tons total. Even if you used the largest floating crane vessel in the world, it would still require 2 of them, but they wouldn't be able to work in water this shallow.
