January 9, 2007: Clean-up and Blast Preparations for T-1
Here is the port worksite - T-1, Manny's crane and the lone Grace pier
Here is the Ravenel Bridge today
and here is the situation on December 6, 2005 - just before blasting the
Drum Creek main span
Lots of cleanup. Richard Simmons is moving stuff from here to there
and here is Sparky art - T-2, T-1 and the East Bay pier
A view with the setting sun
Mickey's guys are going to set the charges for the T-1 base area and wrap
the vertical columns with chain link fence to retard lateral movement debris.
Probably only the lower half will be charged with the upper half simply
falling and then Michael with his hammer and Jimmy with his grapple will
unbuild the upper half
Lots of chain link fence
Another view of the worksite
Here is Jimmy grappling for something
An inside look at Jimmy
Then the shipping containers will be placed between T-1 and the Sea Breeze
Marina - again contain lateral movement of debris
Richard here performs the up, up and away protocol - this is the up phase
and more of the up phase
Then the away phase
