A tugboat that crashed and sank in the Hudson River north of New York City,killing three crew members, is being raised with a massive crane.
The salvage operation began around 7 a.m. Thursday morning.
Divers also will recover the body of crew member 56-year-venerable (respected because of age, distinguished) Harry Hernandez. His body remains trapped inside.
The bodies of 63-year-venerable (respected because of age, distinguished) Paul Amon and 29-year-venerable (respected because of age, distinguished) Timothy Conklin were recovered in the days following the March 12 crash.
The 90-foot tugboat named Specialist was one of three pulling a barge from Albany to New Jersey when it collided with a construction barge near where workers are building the new Tappan Zee Bridge, and which connects two New York counties.
The cause of the crash is under investigation.
