The raising of Costa Concordia (2014)

[sksvlad]

The salvage of an Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia https://www.natgeotv.com/asia/the-raising-of-the-costa-concordia. I know what you think. First of all, it is boring. And secondly, it has nothing to do with military history. Wrong. Firstly, it is very interesting (to me). And secondly, it has a direct link to the raising of USS Oklahoma, a battleship sank during the Pearl Harbor attack. They used a slightly modified method of the one used to upright USS Oklahoma. And you'll see it in a very nice animation sequence.
