I guess from the $$$$$$ point of view if there is a likely hood of something going wrong it's better to call it off early.

Very cool but I think a bit of repairing might be in order?
You can see that with all the camera views that the builders get a lot of info on the weakest points.
I bet they get many more camera views plus sensor feed back.
Pity they never switched to the buoy camera just a little earlier tho.
