In 2012, the massive Costa Concordia cruise ship capsized off the coast of Italy. The world watched, but the real challenge began when engineers were tasked with the impossible: rolling the 114,500-ton wreck upright without destroying it.
This is the incredible true story of the Parbuckling technique—the genius, low-tech solution that saved a billion-dollar ship.
Watch how American salvage experts used nothing more than physics on a colossal scale! They attached giant steel sponsons (water-filled boxes) and massive hydraulic chains to slowly, meticulously flip the ship onto a stable platform. It took 19 grueling hours of precise engineering to complete the most expensive maritime salvage operation in history!
