Cutting Up The Golden Ray Car Carrier

 

The first cut into the Golden Ray happened today off the coast of Brunswick Georgia. There's not much to see or hear in the video.
Description of the cut:

      Each of the eight cuts is expected take a day....but there was no word from officials about the success of today's first cut, during which as many as a hundred of the thousands of formerly brand new GM cars were expected to fall into the water.

    Insurance claims for the lost ship and cargo are expected to exceed  $160-Million. The demolition of the ship is not included in that cost.
