Costa Concordia salvage: worst-case scenario

Salvage work is expected to begin soon on the Costa Concordia, currently resting in shallow waters off the island of Giglio but precariously close to a 70-meter drop. The stricken Italian cruise ship weighs 114,500 tons and is holding 2,400 tons of fuel oil. In a worst-case scenario, tides or a storm surge could cause it to slide and sink to the depths below. If the oil spilled, it would hamper salvage work and devastate Europe's largest cetacean sanctuary. Source: National Post, BBC

Imagine already building the foundation for the Costa Concordia to be lifted, then a storm surges and sinks it entirely. You will react like "Bruh"

[@Red_Blade]

Damned schettino !!!!

[@mariselojeda0810]

I just realized how awful the Costa Concordia model is

Not since Thatcher privatised it, now BP isn't short for anything, it's just BP.

[@MrAfstv1984]

VERY important question, right. Imagine yourself, related to one of the victims, explaining why the ship ended up like this: "well, the Captain was getting laid at the time so..." (guess the rest of it). It'd also be a wonderful conclusion, after years of investigation! :((((

[@SoggyNugh]

I remember seeing this when I was younger in 2012 or 2013

I remember seeing it in 2021

[@solitajre222]

@NaughtyBwoi Internal volume, as far as i know is how big it is on the inside. Usually measured in m3 (Cubic meters - EU measuring).
For example if a soda can says "33cl", it should mean that the internal volume of the can is approximately 33cl or; 330cm3. Weight, or Mass, as it is also called is how much the internal volume weighs. This can vary depending on whats inside. If it would be filled with lead, the mass would be greater. And if empty, lower.
(Physics-nazi might flame me.)

[@NaughtyBwoi]

@wahaya2 internal volume and weight is the same thing isnt it?

[@christopherlmoo]

It is only halfway capsized and halfway sink. So it stops sinking.

[@facepalmerchaosalternate127]

That would be awful.

[@MaxTheHybridButYT]

why they scrapped it?

[@tom201090]

I think they have emoved most of the harmful substances by now though

[@MSR_Space_Tech]

It was a successful salvage this was just a unlikely possible scenario

[@AppalachianKnight77]

actually sir.....American shareholders comprise of almost half of BP's ownership and other European countries have stock in it as well....in other words, even though the name itself is British Petroleum, it is co-owned by the United States along with Britain. That is why when the U.S. had the oil crisis in the Gulf of Mexico the U.S. never pointed a finger at Britain and said "hey look at what your company did" because the U.S. owns much of BP. That's why the UK never had to pay for the spill.

[@abisspassenger]

They didn't think of open up a whole in it and drain the fuel?

[@Jminelli]

Over dramatization , the salvage operation was flawless .

[@ledueplays4628]

The ship was raised and than taken to be scrapped before that happend.

[@chelseafuller8412]

So interesting

[@abiel747aviationfan]

Omg my favourite ship

[@VinzentDk]

Please note that the ship's gross tonnage is 114,000, this does not mean that the ships WEIGHS 114,000 tons, as GT is a unitless measurement of internal volume. A ship of this size probably weighs around 50,000 tons (= 50,000 t DISPLACEMENT)

[@nijebitno4462]

it would be cool if it sinks with 0 oil and it rusts so we get like super cool shots and diving teams

[@SolarKronosSBMDOSC]

0 oil would not make the ship move

The accident in the Gulf of Mexico was caused by an American Drilling Platform that used poor concrete to seal the drill holes...The American platform was hired by BP and the Americans are slipper shouldering all the blame onto BP ....A message to the Italians DO NOT HIRE AN AMERICAIN COMPANY TO RE-FLOAT .....if they sink it ...they will blame you.... .
