What I haven't seen suggested is what seems most likely to me, that a "fly-by" of Porto Giglio was intended, similar to the one from August (photo on one site I looked at), but that for whatever reason, the right turn from the 278 course was started a minute or two late, making the difference between safe passage east of Le Scole to unsafe passage too close to the easternmost rocks. Does that make sense?CountryFreshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15985022614267031823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-35947811730712659332012-01-15T23:24:27.762+01:002012-01-15T23:24:27.762+01:00AFP : Costa 'showboating' may have caused ...<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/afp/article/ALeqM5jPK42cOKRUNVdbW18Y1hun9uMWRQ?docId=CNG.5cc787e57e8731d4ebf300c0b391aad6.511" rel="nofollow">AFP : Costa 'showboating' may have caused Italy disaster</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-90690725889405558882012-01-15T23:08:55.483+01:002012-01-15T23:08:55.483+01:00AP : Cruise company: Captain made 'errors in j...<a href="http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5iJ5p1WSederzbOtj0ZFoq4RNfAFg?docId=6ff5170a60f9402e8dd99e870de3774e" rel="nofollow">AP : Cruise company: Captain made 'errors in judgment'</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-2368094280074539942012-01-15T23:04:23.356+01:002012-01-15T23:04:23.356+01:00CNN : What caused the cruise ship disaster?<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/15/world/europe/italy-cruise-questions/index.html" rel="nofollow">CNN : What caused the cruise ship disaster?</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-39797350052965355712012-01-15T20:58:28.850+01:002012-01-15T20:58:28.850+01:00BBC : Costa Concordia's captain: 'Rocks no...<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16568037" rel="nofollow">BBC : Costa Concordia's captain: 'Rocks not detected'</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-16222538802876713002012-01-15T11:06:15.351+01:002012-01-15T11:06:15.351+01:00BBC : Italy cruise ship: What happened to Costa Co...<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16565771" rel="nofollow">BBC : Italy cruise ship: What happened to Costa Concordia?</a>Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6659609247816106447.post-62555441336888060472012-01-15T08:25:33.509+01:002012-01-15T08:25:33.509+01:00CNN : Cruise ship runs aground off Italy (update)
...<a href="http://edition.cnn.com/2012/01/14/world/europe/italy-cruise-deaths/index.html" rel="nofollow"> CNN : Cruise ship runs aground off Italy (update)</a><br />Questions abounded: Why was the colossal ship so close to the shore? How fast was it moving? How well did the crew respond?<br />Concordia's captain, Francesco Schettino, was interviewed earlier Saturday about what happened when the ship struck rocks in shallow water off Italy's western coast Friday evening, said officer Emilio Del Santo of the Coastal Authorities of Livorno. Local fishermen say the island coast of Giglio is known for its rocky sea floor.<br />Schettino said "that rock was not indicated on the chart," according to ANSA. "Me and the crew, we were the last to abandon ship," he said.<br />The ship was 2.5 miles off route when it struck the rocky sandbar.<br />"There are rocks, they are on the maps," said Capt. Cosimo Nicastro of the Italian Coast Guard. "What we know is the ship went really close to these rocks. ... We don't yet know why."<br />The ship began taking on water Friday evening and the crew kept going because they believed the vessel could normally keep sailing, Nicastro said. Realizing there was a significant safety problem, the commander steered the Costa Concordia closer toward port.<br />Authorities also were looking at why the ship didn't hail a mayday during the accident.<br />"At the moment we can't exclude that the ship had some kind of technical problem, and for this reason moved towards the coast in order to save the passengers, the crew and the ship. But they didn't send a mayday. The ship got in contact with us once the evacuation procedures were already ongoing," Del Santo said prior to the announcement of the captain's arrest.<br />"I'm not surprised that it (the ship) would wind up tipping like this," said Neil Gallagher, professor of naval architecture at the Webb Institute on Long Island, New York. "Something had to go wrong with either the controls or the navigation to get it to this condition."<br />Chris B. McKesson, adjunct professor of naval architecture at the School of Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering at the University of New Orleans, said, "from the size of the gash, she must have been steaming at a pretty good pace."Peiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656222889479394661noreply@blogger.com
