Costa Concordia Reaches Another Milestone

The Costa Concordia reached another milestone in the recovery process yesterday. The salvage team successfully finished pumping all of the ships fuel tanks without any major incident. This means that the danger of a catastrophic environmental disaster is no longer present and the next step is to clear up all the near by debris on the sea floor and then begin dismantling the vessel. It has yet to be announced if the dismantling will happen on location or following a lengthy refloating process.

During the finishing of the fuel pumping divers under the ship located the bodies of five more victims trapped between the ship and the sea floor. This leaves only two more victims unaccounted for.
