Wow, now that was an interesting story. I wasn't surprised to learn the LS was still intact. Rumors of it being cut in half have lingered long enough. One would think a crushing blow amidship would force the LS under the water causing an immediate sinking of the vessel. To cut such a large metal object in half would have to been done at a much greater speed than the larger vessel was capable of, I would think. Can any of our engineers in the audience back up my theory?  Bob
