[quote]Engineering officials in Italy say they have succeeded in lifting the cruise ship Costa Concordia free of the rocks, 20 months after it ran aground.
The salvage operation to right the ship, one of the largest and most daunting ever undertaken, is expected to last up to 12 hours.
The ship was detached from the rocks and moved on to a platform constructed on the sea bed, officials said.[/quote]

Looking at that picture, I am really curious how will that thing look like once they are going to tow it around.
I wonder if they are going to scrap the ship or spend millions on it trying to refurbish it once it is upright.
That ship would make a killer artificial reef

From what I read on CNN this morning it's going to be towed to port for the last time where it will be dismantled and parts recycled.
Just imagine how shitty the cleaning process is going to be. Nearly two years of expired meats, dairy, vegetables, etc all mixed with mildewed carpets and other materials. Oh and there's also the two remaining bodies to be found.
looks like its rising slowly

Nobody would want to go on a cruise on that ship if they did refurbish it. Plus I'm sure theres some sort of old sailors lore about there being bad luck sailing on a previously sunken ship.
About time.

probably because outside of a few rare cases like this, it has always been more or less impossible for a sunken ship to unsink unless it became a ghost ship in a SyFy channel original movie
also wow 20 months already
On the Stream seems like its moving but from what im seeing now is It looks so wierd like No transition just One Side Weathered as fuck and the Other one looks a bit more Clean and its gonna Stink like shit man And the 2 Remaining bodies oh boy.

Thanks Smurfy, I managed to get on my friends gf's laptop!
ALL THE FEEDS!
That's fucking cool, you can see the line where it met the water.
Holy shiiiiit
I hope a professional photographer gets the chance to get inside and photograph everything they can.. The line is fascinating on the outside, but can you imagine a banquet hall that is half corroded and half preserved, or a hallway that suddenly crosses the line into disintegration and decay?
It's something that certainly should be documented and published.

Would be awesome, it's probably got to take guts to go inside the Costa Concordia considering that potentially the next room you go in could contain one of the bodies of one of the missing victims.
Can we get some high-quality pics of the wreck?
The ship's been pulled upright at last, there's a small conference of sorts on the BBC stream. She's still pretty low in the water, though - the upper superstructure is the only visible section.
Now all they need to do is attach the tanks to the starboard side and it should be ready to be towed.
Darnit. Missed the stream.
I wish I was sooner.

Damn, it might be harder to attach the starboard tanks than it looks. The sunken side has collapsed pretty badly, it doesn't look too structurally sound.

I guess we can now see why the ship was declared a total constructive loss. You can actually see where the two parts of the reef embedded themselves into the ship.
You can also still view the reuter's stream of the ship. [url]http://live.reuters.com/Event/Raising_the_Costa_Concordia[/url]
Wow that is a lot more damage that I thought. I wonder if they'll send robots/people into the ship as they slowly dismantle it or whatever to film the interior sections. It would make for a cool documentary.
I hope someone recorded a time lapse of it.
[QUOTE=OvB;42221444]I hope someone recorded a time lapse of it.[/QUOTE]
CBC has been doing it.
I like how you can see where the ship hit the reef and as it slid down it folded the decks.
Just imagine owning and running a company and then being hit with a half a billion dollars in property loss.
It's just an unimaginably ridiculous.
That shit is ridiculous yo
