Costa Concordia in Italy freed from rocks; live video stream

[Staropramen]

Engineering officials in Italy say they have succeeded in lifting the cruise ship Costa Concordia free of rocks, 20 months after it ran aground.

Efforts to right the ship, one of the largest and most daunting salvage operations ever undertaken, are expected to last up to 12 hours.

The ship has been detached from rocks and moved on to a platform constructed on the sea bed, officials said.

Thirty-two people died when the ship ran aground off the Tuscan coast.

The bodies of two of those killed in the January 2012 disaster, by the island of Giglio, have never been found. There are hopes that they may be located during the operation, although officials said on Monday there was no sign of them so far.

Engineers have never tried to lift such a huge ship so close to land.

While the salvage workers have made friends on the island, few have managed to master much Italian.

“They’ve learned to say ‘Buongiorno’ and ‘grazie’ but that’s about it,” said Emanuele Mattera, 37, the owner of a bar. “The Anglo-Saxons don’t seem to be very good at languages.”



Note:
Just a reminder of the fact that there is but one "race" on
this earth, the dynamic Adamic white race, that could accomplish
this monumental task! Same people who built it...................

Those anglo-saxons ...can't dance, aren't cool, they are weak and haven't conquered any 'people' I can think of, have no soul (lol) ...they just aren't talented;
jamie foxx had it right, black people really are the most talented people on earth (lmao). Come to think of it, they did invent the helicopter, they did teach the White Man civilisation (before they forgot how), they did teach the White Man everything he knows.

No wonder those 'anglos' canta speaka italiano ...they are only good for building things, and stuff ...unlike the rest of 'em.
