There are lights on in some of the rooms/cabins that have just been recently un-submerged. What's the deal there?

LOL that guys hair!

Just been reading about the Cougar Ace. Makes me wonder how long it would have taken them lot to move the Concordia. Possible matter of months instead of years probably!

Titan are working on the costa concordia as they did Cougar Ace but obviously the ships are built very different to do different jobs so things ain't as easy sadly !

Apart from the Cougar Ace didn't have big holes in it and was still technically floating...

Ahhh... face palm moment.

I did not realise the same guys were working on this! Its been a long day lol.

Well my hat is off to them, they have got some real big hairy nads doing this kinda work! The Cougar Ace stuff was good reading.

Once its at a certain point they'll fill them tanks with water which will help speed up the process and help control everything.

Its taken some time but you only get one chance and these things, so you gotta be spot on !

Cougar Ace Article

Awesome read. Thanks for the link.

The Cougar Ace.....They crushed every single car...Sometimes you have to wonder about us as a species.

Cheaper to miss out on sales than to potentially have never ending warranty claims and a damaged reputation as a result.

That salvage operation is an absolutely epic bit of engineering.

I read that a few years ago and its a great read but my favourite part is definitely the pictures of the people involved. They all look like such badasses to a man pretty much.

Bed time... Still not quite there..

Dis86 · 16 Sep 2013 at 23:57

Hope they find the two missing people.

MadMan-JaMeS · 17 Sep 2013 at 00:05

Yeah it certainly is a good read, this reminds me a little bit of when they rescued them Chilean miners, absolutely brilliant skill and engineering to do it.

Wish i was there to sit and watch !

Its quite amazing how... simple... what theyre doing actually is. I mean no fancy stuff, just some pulleys and counterweights.

And that's it upright, I thought they said Thursday morning?
