REFLOAT

It will be refloated surely ? Even if its an insurance write off to the current owner, surely someone will refloat it and repair it... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.242.147.167 (talk) 10:00, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It the tore in the hull is really 60 meters long, as reported, then it must have been a high-speed or high-powered collision. The keel is probably wrecked and the ship must be at least cut in half or three parts, before the individual pieces can be refloated and towed away for the breakers. If fact, these ships were originally built from modules, two or three of them, each one containing dozens of pre-fabricated "lego blocks" of several hundred tons of weight. Maybe the wreck should be left where it is to serve as a memento mori? 87.97.51.159 (talk) 10:32, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Current News Alert

I think the current news notice needs to be added to this article. I would do it myself but I am not sure where to even begin looking for the right code Magnum Serpentine (talk) 03:04, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Loss?

Ship now showing on webcams as lying on her side. It is likely that she will be declared a total loss. Mjroots (talk) 07:13, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sadly, I think it is. [1] Goodvac (talk) 09:08, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Statement from Costa Cruises

Costa have issued a statement about the loss. Suggest that if this is used, a link via the Wayback machine or similar is provided. Mjroots (talk) 08:41, 14 January 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect page

Following other precendent in wikipedia, it would be prudent to start a page Shipwreck of the Costa Concordia and redirect it back to here for now. Also, if the details of the shipwreck continue to expand, the content can be pasted in there (since this article is primarily about the boat, not the accident).
