Wreck of the Costa Concordia , one of the largest cruise ships ever built , raised from sea bed . The salvage team used cables attached to hydraulic pumps to rotate the ship upright -- a process known as `` parbuckling '' -- from the seabed onto a platform , which consists of a series of cement bags and huge under-water steel structure . 952-foot ship ran aground in January 2012 on Tuscan island of Giglio , killing 32 passengers . Score: 6 Raising of Concordia is only first phase -- ship must then be dismantled at nearby port .
