truss

Convicted of second-degree murder, Clement was sent to the state prison in Vacaville, where he and two other inmates trussed a suspected informant to his bed before Clement cut out part of his tongue.

In short, he looked like a man trussed up and carried before the camera to tell his family that his kidnappers were treating him well.

Engineers are using precision cuts to control how the trusses break down, causing them to fall away from the Dali when explosives send them tumbling into the water, officials said.

According to a report from NPR, engineers will use “surgical precision” to cut the steel trusses trapping the container, which will then be “thrust away from the Dali” when explosives are detonated.

In a videographic released this week, authorities said engineers are using precision cuts to control how the trusses break down.
