    Aquarena - Sub Being Removed This Morning

    Did anyone go to watch the sub being removed this morning? Would be pretty cool to see that massive crane in action. Anyone want to start a betting pool? I give the sub 2:1 odds.

    KXAN had a quick blurb on the noon news towards the end. They said they would have more footage in the evening broadcast.

    They are also going to lift the old docks. Probably already out of the water.

    Edit: I had to be in SM this afternoon. They need another section of crane in order to reach both the dock and the second sub. My best guess is that by this time next week both will be out of the water.

    some photos I took last fall while doing a "Whites" demo dive in the arena. Broke my heart to see it looking like that. Really strange being in the water looking into the sub while remembering being in the sub looking into the water. Major deja something.
