I can't wait to be one of the millions of people who would no longer consider stepping foot on that boat. It has a bad track record.

It is not it's fault, but still, much like my insurance company, I'll still remember forever.

I'm all but certain they said they were going to scrap it. There's no economical way to fix it up.

This video is not dead for me. I just watched it.

channel4.com = *british

Adding video to channels (British) - requested by ant.

I'll bet the locals are happy.
And yes it will be scrapped. They just didn't want to have to torch it to pieces to get it to the scrapyard.

It's not British is it? Channel 4 are, but they just got the clip from AP or Routers or some such, the same as everyone else. There's nothing inherently British about the operation AFAIK.

So, how did they do this? Did they pump air into the lower decks? Pump water out of the upper decks? Stuff a bunch of foam noodles under one side?

Cool drone video of the ship

They filled it with ping-pong balls.

Ah, cool. So pretty much what I said.

Ahh so its not done yet... still need to attach the second set of floaters and raise it. Still, awesome job, I would have hated doing so much work in the black of night.

Needs more Ride of the Valkyries

One hundred and fifteen thousand tom cruises on a boat? Oh my.

No wonder it sank!
