Joe Cool Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Parbuckling of the Costa Concordia is happening right now. Live Feed: http://live.reuters.com/Event/Raising_the_Costa_Concordia I've been watching this for a couple of hours now. So slow and tedious but interesting. The ship is going to look like Two Face when it is finally upright! And the smell!??! I can only imagine what it must smell like out there, terrible! I thought the same thing about the smell. Like everything imaginable mixed together, yikes!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then a massive A$$ stink will surface with deadly repercussions! I wonder if there are bodies still in there. There were only two people missing, after a year in the water I think there is a chance that they've managed to wash out to sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllenA07 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 Yeah I was frankly thinking oozed out. Plus depending on where in the ship they are, the windows may have given way giving a exit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chroniq Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 In related news, I spent hours watching paint dry today and then trying to see if I could legally bet on the success of the ship being parbuckled and re-floated. Really cool that it seems like after taking twice as long as planned (20 months) it is all working out today.. -chris "I love it when a plan comes together" con Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 That would be amazing, but not surprising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmeister Posted September 16, 2013 Share Posted September 16, 2013 If the ship wasn't in such bad shape I wouldn't be surprised at Carnival making it disappear for a couple of years and voila! New sister ship to the Splendor. Edit: I could've sworn that I saw another cruise ship in the background of the live feed! I'm sure it was my imagination because surely no cruise line would be so stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteornotes Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 This has been a pretty interesting process to watch. Though I'm shocked that someone at Carnival didn't just think to ram the ship with another cruise ship to flip it back over. This is the sort of quality plan you'd think they'd come up with! dt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm surprised that this hasn't been part of their cruise itineraries since this happened. They could even rename one of their ships "Carnival It Could Be Worse" or "Costa At Least We're Not on that Tub." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ernierocker Posted September 17, 2013 Share Posted September 17, 2013 Looks better than I would've expected honestly. Looks no worse than the rest of Carnival's Fleet. Seriously, just slap some paint on her and she is ready for the next Klassy Kruise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
