Wednesday on local news we told you about the retrieval of a helicopter from the depths of Lake Cumberland following a 2002 crash into the lake during that year’s Poker Run. Today, we hear from Russell Countian Chris Money, one of the divers who helped bring the sunken aircraft to the surface…

Money said diving at that depth presented its own set of challenges for the aircraft retrieval team…

Money said there are no plans to scrap the aircraft and Alex Ashley, who helped coordinate the retrieval, currently has possession of the helicopter and will provide folks an opportunity to view it at a later time.
