That's gonna cost a couple of bucks to repair.

Gps mishap?

That's possible. Crew mishap in general though.

Wow. I wonder what people died from? When's the last time you heard of people dying on a ship that ran aground, especially in presumably calm seas.

[raydan]

Rip... but I'm surprised so few died.
Could have been a lot worse.

Only a bit over half the lifeboats were launched - many jumped into the sea to swim ashore to the nearby islet.

$1:

Most of those on the cruise were Italian but there were also large numbers of German and French passengers as well as some British nationals.

AND 26 Dutchies...

[Brenda]

Btw, still 70 people missing...

Gps mishap?

Either that or gross human negligence. It is insanely close to shore
