Rick, she is supposed to go down tomorrow morning at 10 am, we filmed the arrival in Key West from Virginia a few weeks ago and the tow out to the reef this morning, they had trouble getting the four anchors positioned but it appears she is ready to go down tomorrow. We'll be back up tomorrow for the sinking shooting more still and video.

Wow, have a blast JP. You are shooting footage from a helicopter? Should get some nice stuff. I hope to do a quick and dirty video clip using a scooter free diving along it before the white paint gets much covered up by algae. The white massive hull really shows up well in clear Florida Current water. Have fun and let us know how it goes. Say, a favor, could you grab the GPS numbers for the location of the wreck after she settles? I would like to rent a boat and go out and shoot it soon. Having confirmed numbers ahead of time would be an advantage. Thanks!

Rick, yes I am taking two photogs up in a helicoper, we are providing HD video for the TV networks as well as shooting stills, it is going to be a media frenzy down here the next few days including a media dive on Thursday. There are even 4 cameras going down with the ship. I have a media package and some pins for you. Send me your address again please. It has a locator map for the wrecks location, the coordinates are 24*27N 81* 44W.
You can see more photos at www.fla-keys.com/media and I can probably get some hd video for you as well from digitalislandmedia.com the HD video people. JP

Great JP and thanks for all the additional info. Looks like the server is swamped and can't handle the load for the live feed. Too bad, hope someone captures it. It will be neat to see what the cameras come up with that will shoot through the blasts and ride to the bottom. Keep your distance up there JP! How far do they want you to standoff when they shoot the charges? Have fun, hope to check it out this weekend if things workout.
This image Stephen Frink shot of the USCG Duane just after sinking stuck with me all these years. The white hull shows up so well in the blue water. Great images, hope to get some good viz. down there. http://www.florida-keys.fl.us

Hey JP,
How did the shoot of the sinking go? Do you have anything you can share online here? Love to see it, unfortunately, the livecam was swamped that morning by hits and the account was locked by the host. Dove it yesterday and shot some interesting stuff. Put a few in Photo of the Day. Ton more to come.

Aerials of sinking

http://www.miamiherald.com/news/miam...y/1068983.html Rick, You probably already saw these online, the second was produced by Andy of Florida Keys News Bureau and has shots from the onboard cameras, we were lucky to be upwind of the smoke when the stern went down, most of the media boats were downwind of the ship.

Thanks for the links JP! I've been looking over the KW Citizen and that's about it so far for post sinking news. Good to see some video content, nice job on that too. Glad you guys weren't stuck in the smoke screen. Just put some more UW stuff up at:
http://fksa.org/showthread.php?p=40593 Got the mag articles out, need to do a standup writeup and then comes the Vandenberg video, soon!
