Pretty cool view of the Costa Concordia before the salvage operation got going. I'd love to see them to it now that the ship is upright.

Two of the pauses that the UAV make gave me the shudders, considering 32 people lost their lives:

  1. The one in front of the bridge - you basically stare into the bridge for about 15s. It feels longer than that.

  2. The UAV pauses over all the un-launched inflatable lifeboats on the port side of the ship.

I don't know why, but I found it exceptionally funny when the quadcopter landed on the helipad.

I agree about the pause in front of the bridge. kinda creepy. I didn't see the lifeboat pause, must have been talking to my son.
And yes, I lol'd when they landed on the helipad. Very cool.
