That day the cutterhead jammed on a piece of old bridge piling in the Ohio River

We spent eight hours diving and burning it out, but the foreman said it was the cleanest cut he'd seen in years. Anyone ever have to deal with something that big stuck in the suction?

Wasn't that a dredge cutterhead, not a suction line?

Was my brain stuck in the suction line too?
