Mike.Minh Posted July 27, 2014 #7151 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I kept wondering why the La Stampa's feed was called Web car. Details here: http://www.lastampa.it/medialab/webcar/cosa Google translate: Introducing the new La Stampa Web Car, a mobile editorial for live coverage and interviews by video streaming from anywhere in the area, local, national and - why not - Europe. La Stampa newspaper is the first in Europe to be fitted by a web car today, which becomes part of the project MediaLab for innovation in journalism. Thanks to a partnership with the global satellite operator Eutelsat, which has set up a 500L provision of La Stampa by Fiat, journalists can follow any event to tell about it "live" with the satellite dish, will always have the wifi , a high-definition camcorder connected live via satellite, a mobile direction, and much more. The mobile Internet will allow La Stampa to be on the news in real time and let you see what is happening live, as well as let you listen to the witnesses on the spot: whether it's a football game or an event, an earthquake or a flood, a traffic jam or a country fair, a trade show or ... "red carpet" such as the Venice Biennale, which hosts the first car the web. Readers in the UK or Europe may find it interesting that this is the very sat 'broadband' uplink technology sold up and down the country in the UK and Europe. It allows them to stream a web feed with uplink speeds of up to 6 MBit/s. Pretty good for a mobile device from a car! With the earth station of this Ka-band satellite being based in Italy anyway, an obvious choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gatour Posted July 27, 2014 #7152 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Has the judge released the ship for actual dismantling. I remember when he okayed the movement to Geneo, he withheld from giving them permission of the actual dismantling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DinghyRacer Posted July 27, 2014 #7153 Share Posted July 27, 2014 CC has come full circle from the port where she was built to the port where she will be taken apart. Kind of sad in a way. :( Sad for the ship, tragic for the people who died and their families. All for the vainity and stupidity of one man. Various CC stories on the Daily Mail website including the Captain at a posh party while his ship was being taken away to the breakers yard: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/home/search.html?sel=site&searchPhrase=costa+concordia So hope the final remains are found.

SomeBeach Posted July 27, 2014 #7154 Share Posted July 27, 2014 Has the judge released the ship for actual dismantling. I remember when he okayed the movement to Geneo, he withheld from giving them permission of the actual dismantling. I have come to the realization that everything in Italy seems to be taken on a step by step basis. I would also expect Schettino's lawyers will argue that it is evidence in his trial and he is still trying to blame the ship. ;) On the flip side I have read that the trial can go to mid/late 2015, if not into 2016. That's far too long to let the ship sit as she is. I believe a decision to start will come soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesteelo Posted July 27, 2014 #7158 Share Posted July 27, 2014 She was flying flags and received a fire boat salute upon leaving Giglio...so eerie to see some of her interior lights on. Almost like she was put on life support to be given a last dignified farewell. Those aren't the original ships lights. They have installed a lot of extra stuff on the wreck, including lights and generators. As far as the ship is concerned now, it is cold and dead. None of that stuff will work again.

USNUZULOOSE Posted July 27, 2014 #7160 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I made it through the whole thing! Even got a few loads of laundry done. :D Snuz, I don't recall what this project started out at but I do know the insurance companies involved were quite upset with where the costs went. In that same vain, are the insurance companies finished now that Concordia has been removed and delivered? We've probably discussed that but I don't remember. :o DM, nice screen captures. It would be interesting to see if they ever report on the true cost and if Titan actually made money or lost some. I am sensing it went way beyond what they first indicated it would cost. Who knows if the actual estimate even factored in towing and the other tugs involved. Probably more money than I would ever make in a life time.

As far as the ship is concerned now, it is cold and dead. None of that stuff will work again. Actually they did energize parts of the ship judging from some pictures I have seen during the entire project. Many of the exterior lights were actually the original lights of the ship. And in the last few days with the deluge of interior pictures of areas that became dry after refloating I spotted a few where the original light fixtures (in areas that were never flooded) were on. I specifically remember a hallway that had lights with green shades on them that were in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luisrp Posted July 27, 2014 #7165 Share Posted July 27, 2014 I want to thank all those fellow forum members that thanks to their time zone cold watch this thing entirely and posted all those screen shots. I watched until about 3 AM (my local time) and the ship had not yet arrived to port. I could not stand it anymore and went to sleep. Then around 6:30 AM I got up briefly to see progress and it was about to enter port. After that I got up late and missed everything else so the screen shots at least let me see what happened.

Aplmac Posted July 27, 2014 #7166 Share Posted July 27, 2014 (edited) This has been one of the largest if not The Largest marine-engineering feats of all time, I reckon. * Securing her so she didn't slip down-slope any further. * Building the cradle under her, etc. * Getting her upright. * Getting her to float freely on her own * Getting her out of Giglio and safely (without incident!) to Genoa. WELL DONE, the entire engineering team who accomplished this! They are now written into marine engineering history and they well deserve that. ;) .

Re: Atomic bombs -Atomic bombs are physically impossible. No atomic explosion has ever occured. His answer to any evidence that these things happened is that it is all faked and he will give you $1,000,000 if you can prove that any did happen. The only problen is that even though he claims to be a structural engineer, his mathematics are just bizarre and if you show him accurate math to prove your point he just tels you that you are wrong.
