And I thought picking my Wing up when it rolled off the sidestand was rough. Next time I'll know who to call for help.

They need to put some sliders on those things. When you weigh 114,500 tons you are bound to drop the bitch now and then.

I don't think those dents are gonna buff out.

Great link, thanks.

Now that thar is some engineering...good stuff.

Wow... that is pretty impressive and fascinating! So who foots the bill for this engineering feat? The cruise line?

 

[Fred W]

Salvage Law

So, in a way, yes. The (previous) owner of the ship is footing the bill, whether they like it or not.

It only took minutes to put her on her side but a lot longer to right her.

What a great engineering feat.

So, was all that expensive equipment built for this job or did they just have it in a warehouse somewhere?
