TIA That's the easy part ...Balloons filled inside the damaged hull will work ... but the ship is grounded - essentially on the bottom of the ocean ... but at so shallow a depth you can see half of it ... They don't just have to right it but raise it some 40 or more feet to actually have it floating again ... More balloons than I can imagine ... Now the Mythbusters raising a wreck with ping pong balls show was ultimately successful on a much much smaller scale ... |

From what I have read recently, there is also damage on the portion that is under water from when the idiot captain tried to get it unstuck by turning the ship around (or trying to, without calling for help).

Wonder if the captain was drug tested? Americans that were rescued
stated that before the accident he was "seen drinking." |
