  2. In the news the we have all seen the recovery start of the Costa Concordia. In this day and age where computers rule and money men are seen by some as gods, here we have an example of men and women who can do extraordinary things in engineering. Where welders and divers have assembled the spondons to allow this giant of a ship to be uprighted. An international effort with many British companies and workers involved. Sad it happened but what a feat!

  3. Hope you all have a great time. At least after touring Scotland you'll be able to laugh off a bit of precipitation

  4. Great anger management and obviously made him feel much better, just not sure what he's going to say to the rental company when he takes it back

  5. Even if the damage wasn't so severe to the starboard side, I wouldn't have thought the structure would be sound in any case. the forces that have been exerted to the hull to pull it upright will have been enormous, the salvage team had already voiced concerns about it ripping open during the roll process. The planned scrapping is the right way forward IMO, re float it, tow it away and scrap it. Like has been mentioned earlier, huge credit the hundreds/thousands of people who have taken it this far without causing any more damage to the ship or contaminating the sea, but it's also a grave, hopefully the missing bodies will be recovered and the families of the victims can get closure.
