  1. How can you claim it would have worked? A foot of a glue join is a foot for differential expansion and flexure to cause sheering

  2. Ultimately whatever the solution it needs to be tested. I think we can all agree, this whole thing is so insane.

  3. I think its important to keep in mind that these 4 lifting points may not have been placed level with each other and the sub. Meaning when you place 4 equal length chains/slings, two of them, on opposing corners will take extra load, and the other two will take less load. Ad to the fact that there is weight out the back of the hull, behind the two lifting points. Weight that the other side doesnt have. So add to the above, that extra tensioned lugg now has even more weight on it as it has to take this extra weight. You can see at 5:18 how the sub isnt picking up level, those two legs on the left have more weight to their right and so the load has swung to center itself under the crane's lifting hook where the slings are probably attached. Given the above, its almost certain to me (boilermaker who uses crane daily) that those rear lugs are taking more than half of the 10t that had to be lifted. One loaded more than others. Btw riggers always assume and calculate for load being distributed on 2 legs of a 4 leg sling, do you think stockton did the calcs this way? Dogman 101
