  • And then there was the Costa Concordia the most expensive wreck removal to date, we have to go back to USS Lafayette in WWII to see something similar. What is next.........

    The captain may have acted cowardly when she sank, but he did do one thing right, he steered her towards shallower water. From the videos of all the people standing on the side of the ship when she rolled on her side, that surely saved lives. Imagine if they would of been in deeper water. They wouldnt of been able to stand on the side of the ship like that.
    Awesome salvage video. Almost as cool as the Kursk salvage video.

    Monumental epic task and without the divers it would not have happened. Full marks for the methodical and
    intelligent approach, not rushed, steady as she goes. These cruise liners are flawed and I'm going to stick my neck out
    and say this; They are built too high with a shallow waterline making them too easy to tip over. The higher they go the more cabins they can fit=profit.A shallow waterline allows the ship entry into more ports making for a more attractive itinerary=profit.
    Ships will always hit rocks/reefs they always have so why wouldn't you design a cruise liner for thousands of passengers
    to better survive. Don't they test by computer modelling and models in test tanks etc? The same amount of effort that
    went into raising the ship should be employed in the design and build of ships to keep them afloat in the first place.

    Once they reflected the ship they had a wasted opportunity. After taking off all of the crew and passengers personal effects and removing the cabins from the superstructure and decontaminated it then they could've towed the hulk to a suitable spot and sunk it as an artificial-reef.

  • @paulwhitehouse7415

    Looking at the map at 4:32 into this documentary this ship would have had to of turn around to hit & lie on its starboard side , or am I not looking at this correctly .

    • @paolozampieri2691
      @paolozampieri2691 3 роки тому

      That’s exactly what happened. After the first hit, the gash that opened flooded the engines compartment and it ran out of propulsion. It proceeded by inertia, stern low and listing to port side till it made a 180 turn and ended up aground, then rolling starboard.

    • @flixri726
      @flixri726 3 роки тому +5

      1. Ships are mostly compared by displacement, the costa concordia is way bigger by this measurment. 2. Environmental concerns werent really a thing then, especially not during wartime. 3. The USS lafayette was partly cut in parts before the salvage operation was done. They removed the whole superstructure.
      By all important standards this was a bigger operation, then the salvage of a half as heavy ship in a port protected by the seas.
