The engineering crew who were responsible for designing this method of recovering the wreck of the Costa Concordia were amazingly talented, not to mention the man who was in charge of controlling all of the many different facets of righting the ship and bringing it back to being upright (I don't want to say an even keel because that was never possible with the amount of water that was still trapped in the hull). Basically what I'm try to say is that this was an amazingly coordinated effort between many companies and crews. Even to this day in July of 2024 I am STILL amazed by how well coordinated and skillfully this salvage effort was successfully executed.

One of the most horrific, but not well publicised passenger deaths occured in the vessel's Internet Café, which was located low down in the hull, below the waterline. A passenger was using the Internet Cafe when the grounding and massive hull rupture took place. The damage and inrushing water severed power to that part of the vessel, plunging it into darkness. There, in the pitch black confines of the hull, the fast approaching water caused increased pressure as it roared into every available space. The passenger would have heard the roaring water approaching, but may not have recignised what was causing it. Unfortunately, she was drowned where she sat in the Internet Cafe as it filled with water. This was entirely caused by the actions of the captain and the brudge crew who let him endanger the vessel and the lives of everyone on board. This captain and crew were as despicable as those of the Sewol, causing the loss of the vessel and being one of the first to leave the vessel...

Wonderful video! I like to add a small correction, however. The Costa Concordia was not twice the size of the Titanic in terms of length as illustrated in this video, but rather in tonnage. The R.M.S. Titanic (1912) and the Olympic Class as a whole had an overall length of 883' and 9", while the Costa Concordia had an overall length of 952' and 1"; However, Costa Concordia is twice as larger than the Titanic in terms of tonnage with 114,500 Gross Registered Tons, while the Titanic was registered with around a 46,329 Gross Registered Tonnage.

The government said get it the fuck out of here so out it goes. Profit and loss has nothing to do with it at that point.

Did you not pay attention to where it wrecked? In a marine sanctuary and prime tourism location. Leaving it there was not an option.

Leaving it there would absolutely have been an option if the government was corrupt enough.

Shipping companies/owners have a very specific type of insurance called P&I (Protection and Indemnity) that covers things like this. I'm not saying for a second that their insurance paid it all out, but they were legally liable for it.

Very curious who ended up paying for the operation.
