That was interesting!! I didn't know what had happened since the sinking and raising of the Costa Concordia. No one has documented it and posted it except here. What an amazing and tragic story. Thank you so very much for sharing this with the rest of us!
It's a shame to see such a nice ship scraped due to negligence. Wish they could have saved here. Thanks for sharing. I always wondered how she was scrapped. Best Wishes n Blessings. Keith Noneya
scraping could have been inevitable Covid comes she's and she could be laid up and possibly scraped, if she was popular she could take the down time for a massive refit. A lot of older ships where scraped after the shutdown.
Respect voor deze harde werkers.. EN hopelijk zal die zogenaamde kapitein scheltino nog in de gevangenis blijven tot het einde van z'n leven.. Zeer verdiend
The captain of that cruise ship had his best career I could ever dream of. The problem was, he was too clumsy for that fragile moment knowing about the internal and external risks that could have been avoided.
His ego destroyed everything. Happens all the time . Over confident and cocky . Navigating sea routes he wasn't supposed to be on , just to show off and disaster happened.
I would like to know how many of those modular pieces were just cleaned up and used in the construction of a new ship. That would make a great follow up.
Nil. "NEW" Cruise ship. Why would you jeopardise a contract. It was sunk for months. "APPARENTLY." They used it for a thriller "Love boat" set. Freddy Crugger was found to be captain. Dracula was the ambulance. Texas Chainsaw massacre was forensic. Absolutely shocking. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟.revue.
An amazing feet of de-construction. I wonder if they have one of those intermeshing counter rotating metal shredders, in mammoth size, to reduce the pieces to bits.
Captain should be made to work for free on the salvage. That used to be a job for real men but this guy showes us whos out there jacking around these days.
Wow, it was stripped of all its parts down to the steel frame, and from there sections where cut off with acetylene torches and lifted off by a cranes for further processing.
Boy, they don't waste any time! Awesome! Seriously though, I've watched ships being scrapped in Italy over 40 years ago and the process was men with torches and small cranes with a block & tackle, a lot of manual labour and no floating drydock. When a hull was low enough but still afloat, it would be dragged onto the quay and then cut up into smaller chunks with torches and then loaded onto railway cars. I imagine the sons of those men are on this job. But, I do hope the scrappers got first crack at the ship's liquor supply. They deserved it, don't you think?
@@mitchellman4846 There was so much environmental concern with this recovery project. It took meticulous planning and execution to avoid what could have become an environmental nightmare, especially if the ship broke apart during the righting and re-floating process. The length of time it took ensured the job was done right and the outcome was a huge success. It's a shame the Costa Concordia could not be repaired because the damage was too severe, but the result of the accident could have been a lot worse with an even greater loss of lives. The ship can be replaced, human lives cannot!
@Mitchellman Hi there. I'm Italian and yes, the ship stayed almost 3 year partially sunk and laying on her side. But, as said right above my comment, it really could become a nightmare if anything went wrong during the "rising" manoeuvre. The ship was just some kilometres away from a coast that is a tourist spot and also home of a national park, so even a small leak of fuel or oil could have been a disaster. You know, better safe than sorry 😄 By the way, they did an amazing job and, to see such a big ship being raised like that, was pretty amazing
Amazing. Ship munched apart like "Pac Man" or "The Langoliers". Unbelievable to see such a monumental project reduced to recycled materials or waste after so much original construction effort & expense. Alas, the fate of most cruise ships...albeit a premature one for the Costa Concordia.
I think that in Italy the costs for demolition are much higher. Perhaps it is better to have them built in Genoa rather than in Bangladesh (the ship did not break during the recovery proving to be more solid than expected)
Looks at the high technology and machinery usage along with the number of people working on this COMPARED to the ship breakers at countries like Bangladesh where there is no mechanical assistance whatsoever and zero safety at all.
@@forthelulz9165 ya its stupiddd so stupidd breaking that ship down is an environmental nightmare what scrap whats going to be reused maybe the engines at most doubt though from the salt water corrosion idk

Bout 2 hours ago, I came across a video about someone documenting the cruise ship they were on, sinking. My search ended here. Time well spent, I suppose.
I'm so curious to know how many of the components were reconditioned and repaired and installed into new ships, versus what was simply sent to be smelted down and recycled into brand new components.
Thank you. Good video but the video goes so fast. (I understand). I used to check in every day to see the progress while the ship was being righted and salvaged . I wish I could see the dismantling slowed down into a couple of hours. Thanks again.
I don’t think that information is correct. I watched a documentary that stated the pool was empty. They showed a picture of the pool and there wasn’t any water in it.
At what point did they find the missing two people? Also was wondering what they did with the engines. Im sure there was luggage with jewelry and valuables. I guess the owners got that stuff back? Just so many questions i have. Maybe there is a documentary i should be looking for.
R H for what I've read, after the parbuckling a "cleaning crew" was sent onboard to lighten the ship for the refloating and recover anything of value...it was at this time, that they found the last two corpses...
It was said that the steel had been reused by Fincantieri also for the construction of the new bridge of Genoa...I remember articles in the press but do not take the information as 100% sure
