Got two mates working on the project, one a diver, the other a dive supervisor, They are expecting at least another years work, so dont see it moving anytime soon.

I saw a good 10 minute video online (but unfortunately can't find it now on Google). I think it was by CNN. Very interesting and the salvage master reckoned they will be floating her off in about June.

What happened to her master? Is he picking oakum in an Italian jail?

More sloppy reporting!
Not sure I would describe a ship hitting rocks as "slammed into rocks", but there we are.
Still can't believe how lucky he was to fall from the ship into a lifeboat totally uninjured.

Is there any news on the 2 people who are still missing?

"The captain has said he did not intentionally abandon ship but slipped and fell into a lifeboat when the Concordia rolled onto its side"
Yea, right. Of course he did

And then slipped and fell all the way back to the quay, despite being instructed repeatedly to return....

There's to be a 1-hour TV programme on National Geographic (which I don't have) at 18:00 Sunday 13 Jan 2013. Followed by a "caught on camera" hour which is not marked "New" in Radio Times. Also on Discovery two hours 19:00-21:00 "New".
Let us know what they say!
Mike.

I really hope he doesn't have a model boat on the moat anywhere near that duckhouse...

New video
There is a new (or so the newspaper says) amateur video of the ship while she was being abandoned, before the final list against the rocks
