Costa Concordia wreck refloated
July 14, 2014
The wrecked Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia has been successfully
raised from the under-sea platform it has been resting on for the past
year..
The wreck -- the target of one of the biggest maritime salvage operations
in history -- is now floating about 2m off the platform, reports BBC.
But the 33-year-old waiter from India remains the only victim of the 2012 shipwreck whose remains haven't been found.
It has been more than 2.5 years since the ship ran aground off Italy's Giglio Island with more than 4,200 passengers aboard, killing 32 people in a disaster that drew global attention.
