Costa Concordia‬’s resurrection: Engineering teams have begun lifting the wrecked Costa Co

Costa Concordia‬’s resurrection: Engineering teams have begun lifting the wrecked Costa Concordia liner upright, the start of one of the most complex and costly maritime salvage operations ever attempted.

After a three-hour delay caused by an overnight storm which interrupted final preparations, salvage crews started the all-day operation at around 9:00am local time (0700 GMT) on Monday.

Thirty-two people died in January last year when the cruise liner hit a reef off the Tuscan island of Giglio.
