Salvage job Tri-State Divings' dive crew contracted
to do on the weekend of January 5-6, 2002 in Detroit Lakes Minnesota. The rigs were parked on the ice near the track.
Around 4:30 a.m. Saturday they went into Big Detroit Lake. We were notified at 5:30 that morning and our crew was
on site by 7:30 AM. It took our crew approximately 16 hours to recover 11 trailers, 2 pickups a semi camper unit,
one generator and a four wheeler. Those assisting the dive crew were the Becker Co. Dive Team, Detroit Lakes Fire
Department, Becker Co. Sheriff Department and the State Patrol. Tri-State Diving also subcontracted, three wrecker
services, three excavators, and 1 cat operator to assist in the operation. All but three of the rigs were taken out
the first day. Those in the water were Jim Granger, Jeff Granger, Chris Lee, Chris Anderson and Gary "Seal" Thompson.
Considering the size of the job everything went extremely well.
