I've seen the various ways you guys mentioned from the prior events. It's hard to say which is best, whatever gets it up quickest, I guess.

They tried just about everything. They pulled it sideways, had it bows-up at one point, etc. We thought they were trying to ground it on Rose Island at a different point as well. Not sure how that may have helped, unless they were just going to start removing parts right there?

Anyway, the problem is that the wing extention is not water tight (by design) and fills with water quickly. That is a massive amount of weight exactly where it hurts the most, at the tip of the mast.

Later start time today, around 1400 EDT.
