Titan Salvage & Micoperi - Wreck removal of the Costa Concordia

- 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.........
What a remarkable project.
Respect to Mr. Sloan and all others involved.
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.
You MISSED the cleanup of the recovery project - the removal of the concrete bags, the underwater platforms and the land-based anchor points!
Incredible Job !!!
All those Guys earned their money The Boss was really cool
Must have been Great watching this
Bless the lost Souls and their family and friends
Captain: I said Rum and Coke on the rocks, not run her on the rocks!
It was kinda like dat...tho Schettino is more to blame.
I really like this documentary, but I sorta hate the cheesy sound effects they put in for the technical animations. Really corny. Otherwise I like it, though.
Why am I binging salvage vids???
Possibly because they are really interesting. They show a lot of things about nature, incompetent people and very competent people. We share this beautiful planet with all three
You too eh lol ... Ive been doing it now for over a week , i think ive just about watched them all, or the majority . Nothing like 6 hours of SMIT TAK from the early 70's onward, copied off of VHS tapes and uploaded here . Great stuff to watch, if youre interested in this sorta thing that is . Cheers .
Just started
Cause they are cool. ha
I don't think it would have ever become an ecological disaster once the fuel was offloaded. The reef life was already moving in. Fish love sunken ships.
How did they restore power to most of the exterior lights even with the ships bow still under water
They are new lights, at a cost of 1 billion, lighting is merely pocket change.
Good point
just goes to show you its cheaper to have all the correct charts for navigation onboard !!!!! 🤔😎👍🚢⚓🌊
Does anyone know if a documentary was made of the Costa Concordia after it arrived at Genoa?
Internet Historian just released one. "The Cost of Concordia"
@@DV7Dave Thanks:)!
Men are amazing. Bravo to them all...they get it done
As tragic as this was, it's even more tragic to see, what technological/engineering "wonders" we are capable of as a species. Where could we be, if we chose to put all that knowledge and technology to use for a common, greater good?
Without advanced technology, Italian engineers, coast guard who saved everyone and made the site safe, logistics: building structures of thousands of tons, all forged in the Italian steel mills in those months (2ND steel industry after Germany) the Boss "cool " like hell he would have gone down in history, few thanks to those who made him a Star...
that's a cool cowboy hardhat !!!!! 😎👍🤠
At what point was the cocaine removed?
did they get all the bodies off the ship?
Why did took that long span of time towing it?.…if it would have done it earlier the ship would have been renovated instead of scraping it
1.2 BILLION? 😮
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.
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 .
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.
1.2 billion? I bet they all went out and bought Ferrari's after the job. lol
So what do these guys do when they're not salvaging ships?
Spend lots of money !
something has never been done before? lol. search Salvage of the USS Lafayette. it has a length of 1,029 feet. Beam of 119 feet.
yeah the Lafayette was longer for sure. Maybe they were referring to the tonnage? the Costa was almost double the tonnage of the lafayette/normandie
Of of course the Americans always have to be bigger better. BLAH! Blah! Blah!
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.
26:10 If it's like landing a spacecraft on the moon than I guess it never happened !
A giant pile of garbage for a salvage yard.
👍
Drunken show off cap
use micoperi for suez canal lol
RIP to all the lost passengers & crew. Total respect to the Salvage Crews & Divers to remove that Ship. To the Captain that caused all this death & destruction your nothing but a cowardly piece of shit that brought shame to Italy & the Italians.
No shame Coast Guard, divers, Italian engineering, steel mills that have forged tons and tons of steel in record time, logistics, cutting-edge equipment, Schettino is a booger compared to the impossible things that have been done, not to mention the people of the island who adopted the workers, they must have added 5 kilos for what they often ate when invited to the islanders' homes
Probably a illegal upload. Seems to be a NatGeo recording.
narc 🤣
Who cares knob
NatGeo didn't lose any money off of this. Intellectual property exists as a means to an end, not an end unto itself and uploading a cool doc that I wouldn't have known about otherwise doesn't really subvert that end.
@@newq They would've played ads they want you to watch. They get their money that way along with cable/satellite fees paid through your provider.
first veiwer
