RayColey Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Caught this story on the news this morning - they said three fatalities and a number of injured. Apparently the running aground occurred at night, but don't they have accurate electronic mapping? How could they get far enough off course to run aground. I would imagine that the Captain is in a lot of trouble... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also read there are 50-70 missing as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RayColey Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 It looks like the navigator took the wrong channel into port, perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jobowl Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 Not real sure but I heard their was an explosion and it rip a hole in the side. The Capt. was trying ti steer the ship to land before it could sink. I am sure we will get more info. later. Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted January 14, 2012 Report Share Posted January 14, 2012 What a horrible incident. This was a modern day cruise ship, built in 2006 and designed for 3,700 passengers. Latest update is the Captain has been arrested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
