here's a look this morning at the italian cruise ship "costa concordia." it capsized off the coast of tuscany last year, killing 32 people, and it's been stuck on the rocks since then. today a salvage crew is attempting to right the ship, but this operation is anything but routine. mark phillips is on giglio island in italy with the very latest. mark, good morning. >> reporter: good morning, anne-marie. well, there is the "costa concordia" as you see, still lying on her side as she has been for 20 months now. the operation has begun to try to move her and we think we're seeing the first signs of bits of movement. bits in the water seem to be coming out. but it was delayed here this morning for about three hours because of severe thunderstorms that took place here overnight, meaning they couldn't put some of the equipment they needed,

the control bars and some other stuff, in place. now at 9:00 in the morning here local time it has begun. that is a little over an hour ago, and as i say, some movement is evident. we prepared a little graphic sequence to show you how this is supposed to work. they've run huge chains under the ship and onto the upward side of her now. this is called a parbuckling operation. the chains will be tensioned and the ship will be pulled right up. at least that's the plan. and huge containers, steel boxes which have been welded onto the sides of the ship will be filled with water. the gravity from that will help right the ship as well. over the course of time she'll be floated off and taken to the italian mainland to be broken up for scrap. so after all this time, the operation, which seems to have been a curse of the coastline,

is under way. >> it seems like a huge endeavor, but what happens if this doesn't work? what's the plan b. >> reporter: there is no plan b. there are huge risks. this is the largest system that's ever been tried. it's unclear just whether she can withstand the tension that occurring during it. there are monitors all over the ship to see that she doesn't twist. there are dangers that there are chemicals on board. the alternative would be to break her up in place. that would take a great deal of time and be a real danger to this coastline. >> it's been 20 months that it's been sitting there. what about the people living by. will they be glad to see it go or have they gotten used to it? >> reporter: it's a little of each. the ship has become a tourist attraction and this is a tourist island here in its own right,

but at the same time, it's obviously a blot on the landscape, and the place would be better off once it's gone. but for the 20 months or so that it's been here, it has been a bit of a tragic novelty. don't forget, 30 people died when it hit the rocks. >> thank you, mark. mark phillips on giglio island. thank you very much. well, straight ahead, remembering four little girls. an alabama church marks the anniversary of the bomb blast that turned the civil rights movement. about trying or adding a biologic. this is humira, adalimumab. this is humira working to help relieve my pain. this is humira helping me through the twists and turns. this is humira helping to protect my joints from further damage. doctors have been prescribing humira for over ten years. humira works by targeting and helping to block a specific source of inflammation that contributes to ra symptoms.
