12 hours to right it. Paint dries faster.

Righting the ship is expected to take up to 12 hours.

I think I'll check back later 😉

They'd do it much faster if they strapped a few dozen jet engines to the side of it....

I could do this ship-righting malarkey.

This is even worse than the "very slowly run over by a road roller" scene from a Fish Called Wanda!

It seems a bit like when they lifted the Mary Rose in the Solent back in the early 80s.

I remember our history teacher making us watch it for an hour - sheesh that was boring!

Are they planning on doing a Benny Hill style speeded-up version when they're done?

I wonder if the passengers get any personal belongings back which can be traced such as luggage, items in room safes etc. or if it all belongs to the salvage company?

Going for scrap. Eventually.

Surely wins the award for dullest live streamed event of all time. Ship unsinks very slowly. Still better than looking at this project plan.
