I'm a fan of a cruise vacation. It's a fun way to see parts of the world with family and friends. When I first heard the Costa Concordia hit a sandbar I thought man that sucks, the ship must be stuck and I can only imagine the work that would needed to be done to get the Costa Cruises ship back into action. I had no idea it was a rock they hit which ripped a 165ft gash on the boat, ultimately leading to a sinking cruise ship and people getting injured and lives being lost. I'm sitting there thinking how could this happen, they probably take this same route every week. The how, what, why are really irrelevant though. The worst part is people lost their lives due to this huge mistake by the ships captain. You just don't think in this day and age a cruise ship being on a course that close to this type of danger. Seeing pictures of the sinking ship have me completely mystified.
A website I follow has done a nice job covering the news if anyone is interested in learning more about the accident.

I'm hoping another website John Healds Blog might be able to provide some information on the Costa Concordia. John is the cruise director for Carnival Cruise lines which is the parent company to Costa Cruises. John writes a very good blog in my opinion.
This one frustrated me a little but there is good info. I just hate that it always comes back to Money.
