Costa Concordia Timelapse

The rotation rate really picked up in the last part.



Now they have to hope that the underwater platforms will hold her until the salvagers can attach the sponsons to the starboard side of the ship.

Meanwhile, her captain is trying to lie low.

Back in early WWII at Pearl Harbor the Navy raised one of its warships that had been bombed and turned on its side.
However, this was the biggest civilian ship that this type of operation was ever used on.
Not only that, they could not use the previous method of using massive winches planted firmly on land,
This was one hell of an engineering feat.
I only hope and pray that our education system fixes itself so that we can turn out engineers that can do this sort of thing
