Costa Concordia: CEO gives salvage update
The wrecked Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia has been successfully raised from the under-sea platform she has been resting on for the past year, salvage workers say.
The wreck - the target of the one of the biggest maritime salvage operations in history - is now floating about 1m (3ft) off the platform.
The Concordia struck a reef off the Italian island of Giglio in January 2012 and capsized, killing 32 people.
Speaking a news briefing, Costa Cruises CEO Michael Thamm said he was "very pleased" with the operation so far, but added it was unclear if the company's reputation would ever recover.
