Brilliant time-lapse video shows raising of Costa Concordia

The entire 19-hour operation to raise the stricken ship, condensed into one minute.

The crippled Costa Concordia cruise ship was pulled completely upright in the early hours of this morning after a complicated, 19-hour operation to wrench it from its side where it capsized last year off Tuscany.

The Concordia rammed into a reef of Giglio Island on January 13, 2012, after the captain brought it too close to shore.
