WATCH SALVAGE OF COSTA CONCORDIA LIVE

If you're interested, Reuters is showing it live and from many angles. They are raising it right now.

UPDATE:
That went very well. We had it running in the background until around 2155 local time when they stopped heaving around and called it a night with the wreck sitting flat on the platform. I hope the rest of the salvage is equally uneventful.
If there was any justice, they would have stuffed the captain of this ship into a surface supplied air suit and strapped him to the platform before starting.

That is pretty amazing.

It's a pretty cool piece of engineering. I think it's interesting that they are broadcasting it on the web on dozens of channels.
