They will attempt to refloat the vessel and tow it to the final resting place, a scrap yard. Aaron mcl aaryn joins us. They can see the Costa Concordia rising. We are expecting a full update. After all, that is the riskiest phase of the operation. For the past ten months, the Costa Concordia has been resting on giant underwater steel platforms built for this operation. What they have been doing dur thag time, preparing for the float is attaching metal boxes, 15 on either side of the Costa Concordia. Beginning this morning, they are pumping the metal boxes with compressed air. At first, they only want to raise the ship up 6 1 2 feet and move it to the east 100 feet. As i mingesed, this is risky. Its possible the bottom of the vessel could give way. Everyone there holding their breath. Next, once they move the vessel east, a team of divers, armed with chains and cables are going to go down and secure the vulnerable underbelly before they continue pumping the boxes full of more compressed air, lifting the Costa Concordia deck by deck before it is ready to be tugged away. They hope it will be ready to be pulled away to be dismantled by next monday. John . What a fete of engineering this is. What about the bodies . I know there were victims not found.
