Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Amazing photograph...



The website mentions towing these things away from the drill rigs as a never
ending task.  That got me thinking.  How the hell do they "tow" them away?
That is a huge mass to move, assuming the estimate is correct.  Any ideas on
how they do this?  I think maybe pushing it would be easier, but even with
two or three tugs it still seems just about impossible.  It seems like one
would need an armada of tugs even to build up the slightest amount of
momentum.
