Several years ago I was speaking with an Engineer from the Army Corps of Engineers. He told me that overseas someplace (an I dont remember where) they used Arc welders to break the suction aroung a stuck piece of equipment. Supposedly stick probes in the ground on either side of the machine and pour the power to the probes. He claimed that this broke the suction and allowed the stuck machine to be pulled out with ease. Has anybody had any first hand experience with this proceedure?:beatsme
