These four videos are in chronological order and provide a quick view of the first lift(s) and move on September 1-3, 2009 and the rigging that facilitated the move. There are two underwater segments, one taped as the vessel was rigged and ready to have the air put to the bags and one taped just after the vessels was lifted and prepared to tow. In the second underwater sequence a diver can be seen fitting an additional bag to the stern cables. Notice there are two sections where the bags surface. When she came to the surface the first time, the force needed to break the suction caused the bags to rise too rapidly and trip, letting her sink back down. The second time only one bag on the bow trips and the salvors are able to stabilize her for towing.
