Inside the Costa Concordia: 4 years later

I've always been enamored with abandoned structures, cities, shipwrecks and the like. I periodically checked in on the massive salvage effort that took place to raise this ship and float it off for demolition. I saw these pictures from the interior of the vessel prior to final demolition and I thought I would share.

1. That is a creepy kinda of cool. Thanks for sharing.
2. Didn't the captain abandon the ship during the rescue?

He did and left those who died to their fate. I think they threw him in jail because of his actions. Not only did he abandon ship, he actually caused the accident that lead to her capsizing. If I remember correctly he had them run very close to the shore to show off for some resort town.

16 years in the can. he got off kind of easy. prosecutors were going for around 25.

Supposedly there's one unaccounted for passenger they think is still somewhere inside the ship

there was a great documentary on Nat Geo, think it was raising the costa concordia (its on youtube)
the science behind lifting it, all the problems they faced

The overall recovery effort I believe went over 2 Billion Euros. The Costa's(Carnival) insurance company paid Titan Salvage and another company to flip the ship and float it out.

looks like your typical carnival cruise ship after it returns to port.
