The rusty wreck of the Costa Concordia is floating again, as a delicate procedure to move the 114,500-tonne ship away from the coastline of Giglio, Italy, gets underway, salvage teams say.

    Steer the ship to safety and save dozens of lives? Or let the hot blonde play with the buttons on the control panel while I snort some rails off of her ass? Decisions, decisions, decisions...... :mrgreen:

    Now that they've got it refloated they should make that fucking asshole, Francesco Schettino clean the entire ship from stem to stern by himself.

    He'd probably get distracted and crash the mop bucket into something.

    Well being in water for so long I doubt there is anything useable left on that ship other than scrap metal.

    Yes unfortunately what was a very beautiful ship is now only good for its scrap value.

    I have a very high opinion of Italian engineering but like every group they have their folks that are a national embarrassment. Captain Schettino is an Italian embarrassment, but the folks cleaning this disaster are doing a magnificent job.

    It is so sad that it takes one jerk o** to cause this mess that required all this effort and 1 billion dollars to clean it up.

    First port of call will be Atlantis.
