from the video I watched of the sinking, it doesn't look like it will stand up straight. It looks like it will settle completely on it's side or at around a 60% degree angle. It leaned quiet a bit during the sinking and it doesn't look like it's going to correct itself during it's decent. Navy Divers are supposed to check it out within the next day or so. We will probably hear about it's positioning from them soon.

Can someone post up the vid on it or tell me wear to find it?

USAToday's links are messed up. Type "oriskany" in the search box and it will come up with two videos.

Thanks a lot man. We tried to get down today. What a B-day present that would have been.

From the video, it looks like the O will be resting on her side, guess I will keep working towards my Trimix certification if I ever want to explore the hanger deck of this monster.
