Uniall Posted July 22, 2013 #4351 Share Posted July 22, 2013 Old News! Sid I guessed it was probably old news, since it was published and posted by USA Today three days ago. I'm sure there were ealier publication and posting sources that I would not see. But, I decided to post it just in case you guys had missed it.

John What I remembered when I saw the original article was that the 2 fellas behind it might be charged. The updated article that accompanied this release confirmed that they were charged with illegally recording the salvage plus landing a drone on Concordia, another no-no. Sorry for the loss of your friend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Minh Posted July 24, 2013 #4356 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I was just reminding myself how many sites are involved with this massive project. MV Lone is now in Genoa to pick up caissons. Previous caissons were first transported from Genoa to Livorno, then picked up by MV Lone or MV Svenja. I also found a pic in a previous progress report showing how a caisson fits (easily) in the hold of Lone (or the identical Svenja) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chengkp75 Posted July 24, 2013 #4357 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Looks like a barge is coming into position with the remaining anchor block towers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive and anne Posted July 24, 2013 #4358 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Could it be Pioneer?? Its the only other ship identified along with Micoperi 30 on AIS although they describe her as a Dredger,but I agree with you it looks more like a barge.

Welcome back. No, the Pioneer is the large accommodation block that has been moored inshore of the CC for quite a while. It is a dredger, but I think her main purpose on site is accommodation, and it is probably the grout pumping vessel. Typically non-powered barges do not have AIS transponders, and several of the smaller boats on site do not always show up on marine traffic.

The real news in this link is: This USA Today version is a heavily edited and shortened version of the original video which can be watched here: I couldn't find anything about these guys being charged (USA Today not a site which makes search easy), do you have a link please? They didn't land on CC (they touched it by error) But they did land on the heli deck of Micoperi 30, this bit and others were cut out in the USA Today version.

SomeBeach Posted July 24, 2013 #4363 Share Posted July 24, 2013 Mike, it was a touch for CC and a landing on M30. As for the arrest, it was mentioned in a Yahoo/USA article I saw one day last week with what was claimed to be "new" parts of the drone video never seen before. As for link, sometimes I can find them and sometimes I can't. Right now it's a can't. This link contains some photos from inside the court. Don't think I've seen them posted here as yet. If they have been, then I'm sorry, just move along. http://photoblog.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/07/19/19562516-courtroom-theater-in-surreal-saga-of-the-costa-concordia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike.Minh Posted July 24, 2013 #4364 Share Posted July 24, 2013 I wasn't trying to tread on anybody's feet (for posting that link). But I found it surprising how much USA Today altered that video. And I was curios if there were any new charges brought forward against the (original) video makers. For the time being I believe there aren't any charges against them. AFAIK, US law doesn't allow usage of drones. But this is Italy. The court room photos are somewhat not related, but maybe I didn't realise that they were not meant to be related to the drone video. No problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No problem. New paragraph meant for different subject. Is that net in front of the Captain in case he gets thrown overboard again? :p I chuckled when I saw that too. Then I recalled it's a former theater with a possible orchestra pit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clive and anne Posted July 25, 2013 #4367 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Thanks Cheng Its been a busy morning with the barge you mentioned yesterday being towed away by barges and our supply ship taking its place. It seems a misty day at the site and its difficult to see clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiseaddict5279 Posted July 25, 2013 #4369 Share Posted July 25, 2013 This may be a weird question, but does anyone know where all of the life boats went to, or what they did with them? I've just been extremely curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cruiserfanfromct Posted July 25, 2013 #4371 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Unfrigginbelievable!!!!! :eek: I don't know who is interviewing Schettino but this video was uploaded a few hours ago. Makes you wonder if Schettino is aware there is a trial on September 23 at which time if he is found guilty he could face up to 20 years in jail.

In my experience interrogating white collar crimionals, most of them are not only sociopaths (no regard for feelings of others) but are also meglomaniacs (god complex). These traits render them incapable of believing that they have done any harm to others.

I've just been extremely curious. Can't say for sure, but all that made it away from the ship that night would have been collected and taken somewhere for Costa to store, and use as spares for other ships. Any that were not lowered the night of the grounding would have been removed by the salvage crew, and likely gone to the same storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I still had license insurance, the first thing they told everyone in the meetings about what to do if you have a problem, was to keep your mouth shut! Why does his attys. let him keep opening his mouth? Seems to me the more he says, the deeper the hole he is digging for himself??? AKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
