Monday (tomorrow) the active part and final stage (hopefully) of refloating and raising the Costa Concordia will get underway.
This is one of those efforts that especially interests me, because while it is certainly groundbreaking (so to speak), it also is at its heart a mixture of basic science and engineering. Leveraged use of gravity, force, buoyancy and hydraulics will hopefully join together to refloat this wreck and send it on its last, ignominious, towed voyage.
