telken22 Posted July 17, 2014 #6702 Share Posted July 17, 2014 From TPP today: Despite the strong winds have caused an interruption of operations during the night, divers are working to connect the last chains and cables. At the moment, there are still 2 chains and 4 cables to be connected to 3 of the starboard sponsons (S4, S5, S18). The chain related to starboard sponson S12 has reached its final position and, in the next few hours, the connection will be completed. Time posted was not indicated. From TPP yesterday: Costa Crociere informs that the photographs and videos reported yesterday and today by the media, and related to the inside of the Concordia, are not official material and have not been released by Costa Crociere and the Titan Micoperi consortium. Would be in reference to Tues and Wed. Thanks for that. So I doubt we'll see any lifting today then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lightman1984 Posted July 17, 2014 #6703 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I've been watching the starboard sponsons quite intently the last few days, and I haven't seen evidence that any of them have been moved. Everything I've read indicates S3-S15 & (S18) will be re-positioned lower than they are now. All the attention the last 2 days seems to have been on passing and connecting chains & cables under the ship - and it makes sense to me that they would want that portion of the project at 100% before they start messing with the balance of individual sponsons.

USNUZULOOSE Posted July 17, 2014 #6707 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I think the winds are messing up the webcam. It is almost 6 pm there. Not sure when the sunsets there. It does look like the one box on the starboard is a lot higher than the port. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish they could live stream the trial in english, that would be a heck of a trial to watch. I check in 3 or 4 times a day. But, I don't post when the topic is engineering and sailing issues which I avidly read and learn from those who have specialized knowledge and expertise in those areas. When the issues involve legal matters, I always chime in with answers to queries or to offer my opinions based upon my specialized knowledge and expertise. I'm sure there are more than a few of our thread cohorts who are doing the same. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USNUZULOOSE Posted July 17, 2014 #6711 Share Posted July 17, 2014 I always manage to stumble in when things start moving. I have been involved in a lot of trial watching.

John I've been around since it all start but since I have no expertise in the legal or salvage areas I've been laying low and taking it all in. I would like to say thanks to everyone's contributions to this thread. It's has been an amazing learning experience from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatorTide Posted July 17, 2014 #6713 Share Posted July 17, 2014 This may be a dumb question but I can't seem to find the answer online. When is this trial supposed to end?

The stories I've seen are dated back in the spring. What's happening with it now? Very good question. One article I read a month or so back suggested that the trial could run into mid/late 2015. Not sure if I linked it on the sister thread to this one. With all the delays/recesses I wouldn't be surprised if it went into 2016! :rolleyes: If we are going to mention specialties, mine would be links to articles. As I was downsized out of my job some years ago and have now reached retired bum status I have time to look around. ;) I don't often mention speculate cuz so much of this is beyond my understanding. I do ask questions, which some may find stupid but if you don't ask you don't learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SomeBeach Posted July 17, 2014 #6718 Share Posted July 17, 2014 Who's Harvey Spector? You! :D I had to google it. He's a lawyer character on a tv show known to be a skilled closer. The character is also cute and a good dresser. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
