I know mistakes happen, but how does a big ship like this end up in shallow water in 2012? This is a colossal **** up.

Was someone drunk?

Officials: 29 people missing from Costa Concordia
...Italy's cruise liner tragedy turned into an environmental crisis Monday, as rough seas battering the stricken mega-ship raised fears that fuel might leak into pristine waters off Tuscany that are part of a protected sanctuary for dolphins, porpoises and whales.
The ship's jailed captain, meanwhile, lost the support of his Italian employer as he battled prosecutors' claims that he caused the deadly wreck and abandoned a sinking ship before its 4,200 passengers and crew had been evacuated....
...The Italian cruise operator said Capt. Francesco Schettino made an unauthorized deviation that caused the ship to crash late Friday into a reef off the tiny island of Giglio and capsize a few kilometers (miles) away near port.
The navigational "fly by" of Giglio was apparently made as a favor to the chief waiter who is from Giglio and whose parents live on the island, local media reported.
A judge on Tuesday is to decide whether Schettino should remain jailed.
"We are struck by the unscrupulousness of the reckless maneuver that the commander of the Costa Concordia made near the island of Giglio," prosecutor Francesco Verusio told reporters. "It was inexcusable."...

Harmless enough, but look now, people dead. I can't hate on the captain and I wouldn't lock him up, but that's terrible.

This video shows a crew member telling everyone to return to their cabins after the accident.

This one of the worst parts of this accident - they could have begun evacuating passengers an hour or so earlier than they did, which might have prevented the deaths that occurred.

Alright, this is gonna sound bad. But. The thing did not sink. Most of the ship ended up ABOVE WATER LEVEL, and still is, as of Jan 22. Why did the people die? That's what I don't understand.

It tipped over and people were stuck in the lower levels.

He sailed away on a safety boat while people were still struggling and dying. It's his ship. The man should be in jail and he's a coward.
