 Costa Concordia Wreck.


Tables and chairs can be seen remarkably intact - in what was once a bar onboard the liner that is twice as large as The Titanic.'

New video has emerged showing the inside of the Costa Concordia cruise ship which has been refloated after sinking two and a half years ago.
Tables and chairs can be seen remarkably intact in what was once a bar and an atrium onboard the luxury liner.
On Monday, the 114,500-ton ship was successfully raised from the under-sea platform that it had been resting on for the last year.
Compressed air was pumped into 30 tanks attached to the sides of the vessel to force out seawater for one of the largest salvage operations in history.

Technicians then moved the liner 30 metres from shore, as the coastguard monitored the £1bn operation, including the quality of water and sea pollution that could be generated by the removal process.
Thirty-two people died when the huge ship, which was twice as large as The Titanic, slammed into rocks off the Italian island of Giglio in January 2012 and part of the ship's 290-metre-long hull sank beneath the water.
