I woke up at 4:30 eastern time to watch this. You can see the scum line and she's coming along quite nicely so far.
If something does break, she just might be a reef after all.

I've had my eye on this for a while now. Local news says today is the day she'll be afloat again. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldne ... -live.html |

As a diver, I can't help but think what a great artificial reef the Concordia would make if it was sunk in 200 feet of water (assuming it to be about 150 ft tall). |

However, Concordia still has tons of toxic stuff on board like oil, grease, cleaning agents, and rotting milk/eggs/meat just to name a few. Apparently those toxic materials can't be removed safely without hauling the whole ship off. So much for the artificial reef idea  .
