They have been making progress righting the ship. The dirty section is a portion of the ship that has been submerged since January of 2012

2. Per the presser they just had, she's now at 45 degrees.

They're going to start filling the sponsons on the port side and let the weight rotate her the rest of the way (with the starboard side cables keeping her from rolling too fast).

Expect to see some ugly once she's back on a semi-even keel. Her starboard side was crushed by the seabed.
