INSIDE THE COSTA CONCORDIA WRECK

The ship has been righted. 

This is what awaited the engineers:

Starboard side completely caved in, crushing cabins, bars, theatre, spa and casino

Treasure haul worth more than £10 million in jewellery, cash and 6,000 works of art could be retrieved

Operation can begin to find two missing victims of disaster, after ship sunk in January 2012

Rescue operation is expected to be most expensive maritime wreck recovery ever
