Right across from Nickys pizza, also adjacent to the MNRR tracks.

Amazing to think they are just getting around to demo-ing United, that place has been shut down for eons.

Interesting rig and great video, I'm sorta surprised theres only 1 dewatering rig in the fleet, after Sandy one would think they would have one per boro.

Couple of pics from the shipyard. Work on removing all the fire main piping is well underway and not a moment too soon. Theres an absurd amount of scale buildup in those pipes! The boat davit motor has also been removed for possible refurbishment if its not too far gone. The monitors are are...

Thats a sharp looking rig, I like the Maryland flag grille too.

Ah Caven Point scrapyards, how I do not miss having to park my car a mile plus away just to save my tires whenever I was working as a port agent for ships there. Bravo zulu to FDNY Marine units on their work on containing the fire

Stay safe out there, best case is everybody gets a gear wash

Hard to believe its been 22 years since that awful day. RIP to those lost, solace to those who mourn and hopes that those missing can one day be identified and returned to their loved ones.
