[QUOTE=Tonka's Skipper;39973090]Well I told them I was not leaving here until the crane to on site.

A 44' Viking throttle locked on 1 engine as they were approaching thier slip Sunday morning and tore into the dock.

Luckily no one was hurt and the other boat damage was minor. The Viking we got out of the water yesterday. She will spend the winter in the repair yard though.

At lest no one was hurt.

Great view of the control room. If I had known the cams were going to be this good, I would have had the day off work. Something like this might never happen again

[Cruising Ken]

not been able to get on the webcam at all today but both sky and bbc news are covering it quite well. It's 11am here in UK and apx 2mtr movement can be seen :-)

Thank you!

[balf]

The Reuter feed keeps locking up for me. This one seems better. Unbelievable feeds from the control room.

Cant claim the credit Tonka, 5 waldos was the first to post and several kind people since.
Was the shots of the control room taken at the beginning of the PB. The camera positioned very quickly unless they had 3 cameras in there. But fascinating nevertheless.

[starryuk]

Wish I could understand Italian!

[clive and anne]

We had an English translation earlier

We did, wonder where that went? Such a beautiful language.

[davenmarcia]

If you can adjust your audio balance there is a quiet english audio on the right channel / speaker

[starryuk]

Thank you , but unfortunately such technological know-how is beyond me.:o

I shall just listen, try to pick up a word or two, watch the body language and hope to find out what they are saying later! Fascinating.

[clive and anne]

Sorry don't know how to do that.
I seem to be getting Italian into Italian and frankly I didn't understand it the first time so no point in doing it again. but we cant complain this is so much better than any of us imagined we would get.
Congratulations to all concerned.

thank you, but that did not work for me.

[USNUZULOOSE]

It is nice to listen, great way to learn.

I am using this site [url]http://www.ilpost.it/2013/09/16/live-raddrizzamento-costa-concordia-streaming-diretta-video/[/url]
but had to go into the computer settings to change the balance. i guess you could use headphones and just use the right one.

Mine came back and she was mixed with the other person. But it seems everything is still going as it should. I am using head phones as not to keep DH up.

Wheres Sid???............he was one of the first here, I really hope he's able to see some of this!

ART

[clive and anne]

Not heard from him Tonka sure he will be following this somewhere.
BBC just reported that an initial search under the hull has not found Maria and Russel, lets hope this changes. They have set a high priority in finding them.

[Mike.Minh]

Here is a reminder whats still inside (found it on the Telegraph website in the UK)

[I]Trapped inside the upturned hull are more than 24,000lbs of fish, nearly 5,500lbs of cheese, 1,500 gallons of ice cream in tubs, 24,000lbs of pasta, 2,000lbs of onions, more than 2,000 pots of jam and nearly 17,000 tea bags.
Rotting beneath the waterline are more than 17,000lbs of raw beef, nearly 11,000 eggs, 2,346 hot dog buns, 815lbs of rabbit meat and more than 1,000 gallons of milk.
Some of the food and drink is sealed, presenting less of a pollution risk, including 18,000 bottles of wine, 22,000 cans of Coca-Cola, 1,000 bottles of extra virgin olive oil, 46,000 miniature bottles of spirits and 10 bottles of communion wine for the ship's chapel.
[/I]

The webcams we used for so many weeks have become partly unresponsive or erratic. Glad to see that Reuters have an own team on site (using their own Sat feed).

12 o'Clock UK, Now raised by 3 degrees and has come free at the critical bits from the granite seabed. Early moments, but going to plan.

[Tonka's Skipper]

ABC just said the hull is clear of the reef!

[Ply474]

amazing to see this. Thankyou everyone for the updates and feeds! Hoping for a very successful day!

A good deal of the frozen beef. seafood and food stuffs will be in sealed reefers, so at least its contained.


OOPS, I think you just said that Edited September 16, 2013 by Tonka's Skipper
