buried car: doesnt look good

[70 copo]

The detail of how the car was prepaired is here: http://www.tulsahistory.org/events/buriedcar.htm

"A huge plastic bag made by Kennedy Car Liners was positioned over the car with the bottom edges heat sealed to the base sheet, leaving a 4-inch slot opening. The air in the bag was then vacuumed out through the slot producing a hermetically-sealed container."

So the question is if the seals on the bag held or not? The weight of the water pressing against the bag due to the vault leak is the biggest potential source of the seam failure or puncture failure. The bag does look still collapsed in the inital Photos.

what bag??

[x Baldwin Motion]

damn sharp fins cut the bag when it was under water. maybe a sea turtle or a shark attacked it it? I am really shocked it hasn't broken in two upon lifting !! what a shame.

I bet those guys in Latrobe could spiff up the interior after seeing the job they did on the 68 dana

Nothin a little soap and water will not clean up .

BTW.... The lift plan was modified a tad. They had originally planned to lift it Tomorrow at noon and by the two center beam method only. They already practiced on a car in Kansas that way - so by using a multi point "fly" they must have been concerned it would actually break in half.

The practice fly as planned by the commitee: http://kotv.com/news/local/story/?id=129104

I don't know about everyone else, but every time I've seen something being lowered that deep into the ground with a concrete surround it was meant as a tomb....yikes...
