SomeBeach Posted July 17, 2014 #6683 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Something is going on with Concordia. At about 2:30 (Italy time) there was a couple of large flashes of red that came out the side. Then there was a lot of smoke and red embers falling out. If you look at the front sponsons, next to them there are 6 white pole looking objects. Whatever took place was above the 2 on the left.

Don't know if it is re-enforcing some stuff or was part of the plan Welding crossed my mind too but there sure was a lot of red followed by a lot of smoke when it started. Surprised that so far only a small boat has just come out to check. Edited July 17, 2014 by SomeBeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeBeach Posted July 17, 2014 #6686 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) Looks like work has resumed. It does look to be regular welding without big red flames shooting out. Edited July 17, 2014 by SomeBeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it was a distress flare from the ship its a bit late :p The Giglio live feed seems to have stopped working for me, but the republica one still is working. Any confirmation if the lifting starts today? There is nothing on TPP. Edited July 17, 2014 by telken22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CTH Posted July 17, 2014 #6689 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Something is going on with Concordia. At about 2:30 (Italy time) there was a couple of large flashes of red that came out the side.

If you look at today's http://www.kielmonitor.de/kino.php?cam=concordia there is some flashing light during hours of darkness in the area you mentioned, looks like welding work? They appear to be continuing with threading the chains between the 2 platform cranes on either side of CC's stern this morning. The crews of the 4 tugboats constantly pulling against CC's port side must have some serious amounts of patience! Some of them have been there for 4 days now, constantly chugging away day and night, but without going anywhere!.... They obviously don't trust the idea of using anchors and chains at the moment.

telken22 Posted July 17, 2014 #6694 Share Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) No worries. Some more video of the (dry) interior. http://www.skynews.com.au/news/top-stories/2014/07/17/new-video-of-costa-concordia-interior.html Looking at the Panoramic Video I can only see S4 sticking out of the water now, so believe this is the last sponson to adjust and once that's done the lifting will begin! EDIT: S14 looks to be sticking out more than S15 too, so maybe 2 left. Edited July 17, 2014 by telken22 Addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sidari Posted July 17, 2014 #6696 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Does anyone know what the cover is on the Starboard side just below the Top deck and below the Control cabin ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive and anne Posted July 17, 2014 #6697 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I have been looking at that as well Sid, its been there some time. Perhaps its a question for our on the spot reporter from Cruise Critic? I am surprised at the amount of movement from bow to stern. I am using Giglio news camera and the radar globe is sometimes behind the you reporter logo and some times well away from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted July 17, 2014 #6698 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Clive ... could it be that they are pumping water and the movement you mention is due to more being removed from one area than another due to obstructions such as cabin doors etc. Purely a guess on my part.

clive and anne Posted July 17, 2014 #6699 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Hi Sid Its the whole vessel that's moving from left to right and back. They have said that they will tilt her up and down as well from bow to stern and back to get rid of the standing water and each deck rises above the surface.

SomeBeach Posted July 17, 2014 #6700 Share Posted July 17, 2014 From TPP today: Despite the strong winds have caused an interruption of operations during the night, divers are working to connect the last chains and cables. At the moment, there are still 2 chains and 4 cables to be connected to 3 of the starboard sponsons (S4, S5, S18). The chain related to starboard sponson S12 has reached its final position and, in the next few hours, the connection will be completed. Time posted was not indicated. From TPP yesterday: Costa Crociere informs that the photographs and videos reported yesterday and today by the media, and related to the inside of the Concordia, are not official material and have not been released by Costa Crociere and the Titan Micoperi consortium. Would be in reference to Tues and Wed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
