Second Wheel Dropped

NOAA Working Divers Jules Craynock and Noah Lawrence-Slavas push railroad wheel attached to salvage float bags into place over the correct spot, while Working Diver Lecia Salerno makes ready aboard boat (Milton Carlo piloting) for the drop. Note the bags pop way up in the water after the 1800 pound wheel is dropped to the sea floor 38' below. Once both wheels are dropped, the buoy will be attached.
