Costa Concordia Rising

On January 13, 2012 the Concordia smashed into a reef off Giglio island. The captain of the ship brought it to close to shore and it ended up drifting then capsizing. It happened right off the island's port and 32 people were killed with 2 bodies yet to be found. Now more then a year later the ship is being brought up and this was finally achieved on January 17, 2013. This was said to be not possible but a team of 500 people from 26 different countries came together to do the impossible. It was a 19 hour long operation and costed about 600 million euros.
