I had heard about the wreck previously, but when I looked at the salvage
pictures I immediately wanted to know how the ship was cut into such neat
slices, right through the engines, bulkheads, etc. Apparently there is a
system involving diamond-encrusted wire for such tasks, also used on the
Kursk for instance. Very interesting.
