Grounded Cruise Ship

TweetDid you see this ship? It was tilted on its side like it was to topple over. Peopel were eating dinner when it ran aground and some folks actually jumped to their death. With all the technology, how can this happen? Someone really screwed up

TweetSounds like most of the people who died or got hurt died in panic by jumping off the ship...At the time of the crash there was no danger in sinking...The photos you now after being ground in the sand bar and taking on 20% of water slowly causing it to capsize.

TweetI would panic and throw people overboard to get into a rescue boat, if I were in the middle of the ocean.

In this situation, I would've sat at the bar and enjoyed a beer while I awaited rescue services. For Christ sake, it crashed next to land! Obviously help is not far away, and if worst came to worst, I could swim that distance if needed. But to make a rash decision to risk my life jumping??? No way.

It's a shame that crisis leads to stupidity.

TweetIt's crazy that it happened. Like already stated, with all of the technology that had to have been aboard that ship, how in the world did it hit land?

TweetThere were 3 incidents with this Costa Cruise line. Umm..sounds like they dont have their stuff together..Its always the captain's fault.

Tweetwonder what the back story is on this...sure captain will take the fall but I'm sure his equipment sucked and his crew was worthless...

Tweetwow....what can i say?? dam

TweetYup, the captain is taking the fall. The cruise ship company put a statement out saying that gross human error was to blame.
