Yes it's an older video, but I only saw it today.

Time Laps of the Concordia Projects


@ 1:25 "Finally! We can fit this wreck into the dry dock."

It's incredible to see how big things get made. But I think it can be as interesting to see how they get un-made.

How many laps did it take?

Does the value of scrap steel really offset labor costs?

Seems like it would have made a perfectly fine artificial reef.

I didn't see any oxy/acetylene torch cutting going on, so maybe it was mechanically disassembled?  Are those cruise ships built to be broken/recycled?

Hell no!  They get broken on the mudflats of SW India by skinny little monkeymen with oxy/acetylene and no OSHA.  Amazing what courage and ambition can do...

I have seen some of those videos.
I have done a lot of oxy/acetylene cutting and demolition. The gas gets expensive and it's kind of a random way of taking something apart, slow too if you're making transportable pieces.
One of the tools in the drydock video appears to be a jackhammer on an excavator being used to disconnect some plates.
