Default RE: Hetzer Recovered From Baltic

I did not mean to offend anyone, I was just critisizing their methods not them personally and Bob was right if that cable had snapped with all that tension on it, it could have very easily killed a couple people. I'm no expert but having workedaround largewreckersrecovering fully loaded tractor trailers and dump trucksfor about a year,I have seen what can happenif your methods are faulty.
At the very least you damage the equipment and at worst someone gets killed. I just think they could have found someone who may have been morefamilar with that type of recovery operation, like an underwater salvage company for example. The fact that they are Polish doesn't enter into it. All the instances in my experience the people were Americans. Ignorance knows no nationality.
Sorry if I hurt anyones feelings.
