These are valid concerns about a possibly toxic sludge and gasses. Concerns which do not seem to downplay the importance of retrieving the missing persons' remains.

Is there a full documentary of the actual salvage operation I can watch? I mean after they built the submerged facility on the side to support its raising, i.e, the 19 hours of operation where they brought the ship up and then to sit upright.

Great job.... how long will it have to sit there till yall move it

[atariforever]

Of course the first thing everyone was worried about was the ridiculous environmental impacts and whether some poor fish was disturbed. Wonder how long it was till they asked about the 2 missing people. These people's priorities are completely out of whack.

im going to go ahead and take a guess that the 2 missing people are probably dead

[MatthewAnderson]

Hopefully, they find the two lost victims. Then this poor lady will be put out of her misery.

Good job... Now the easy part, move to dismantling yard.

It may be your knowledge that's out of whack. The environmental impact of the disaster could adversly affect the lives of all on the island and beyond. It just starts with the fish.
