On January 13th, just two hours after luxury cruise liner Costa Concordia left the Italian port of Civitavecchia,for Savona, the final destination of its seven-day journey, it struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea off the shore of the Tuscan Archipelago. The impact created a 160-foot long gash in her hull, causing water to gush in at an alarming speed.

    I was wondering when I read this article. Could the captain done this purposly? It is very sad to think about the few people that died and their family. My strings teacher said the violinist on the ship was taking some kids to safety and then went back to get his violin.... Sadly he died when he went to get his violin. He was also the first body to be found. I wish things could be safer sometimes.

        @sanny - the captain didn't go to jail you need to concentrate more when you watch the news. He is under house arrest which is NOT jail. Also to people comparing it to Titanic - was there enough lifeboats YES was there an iceberg NO was it in the middle of the ATLANTIC NO so is it like Titanic NO!

                the rule is that the captain should go down with his ship.

                    1. i honestly think if you have a radar then use it they could have seen the rock with a radar like the do icebergs. 2. Its a thing no one got injured but to the missing people they need to find well no one knows where to find them The Tuscan Archipelago is in italy?
