  • On 13 January 2012, the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia struck an underwater rock, capsized after it struck rocks off the coast of Giglio Island in the Tyrrhenian Sea, and sank in shallow waters off Tuscany, resulting in 32 deaths. It is the worst cruise disaster the Titanic. More than 4,200 people were rescued, though 32 people died. Several of the ship’s crew, notably Capt. Francesco Schettino, were charged with various crimes.

      IKR?! It was heartbreaking to listen to the mother, brother & friends talk about the violinist who lost his life. His brother said he applied for work on land in an orchestra because I guess the novelty of working on a cruise ship had run its course. He seemed like such a humble, sweet man. No one should have died in this. He was all alone.🌹❤

    The translated radio conversation between the Italian Coast Guard and the "captain" was epic. I remember listening to it the moment it was released to the public. Captain claimed to slip and fall into a life boat and the CG ridiculed him for wanting to go home to have soup with mommy while his passengers and crew are dying.

      The Society of Master Mariners awarded Captain Sloane a gold medal, created to honor him, its highest honor to a fellow mariner after the state's reluctance to recognize the significance achieved and the international recognition generated by Captain Sloane's leadership.💜 RIP all lost souls.🌹❤

      Agreed, the accident was bad enough, career ending for sure, but the response was more than criminal. Once he was told, engine room flooded, nothing working, we are drifting, which was what, 3-5 minutes after the hit, at that point, all that is left to do is abandon ship, everyone to lifeboats and get off. No one had to die, get injured, suffer mental trauma ect. it was all preventable, they had plenty of time, like an hour I believe before the ship rolled to get everyone off. That is what makes this incident so bad.

      Schettino did serve as a ferry captain with Tirrenia before he became head of security under Costa Cruises. Which probably explains how he ended up as captain of Costa Concordia this quickly. Otherwise it's illegal to promote someone who has no prior experience to captain straight away.

    The thing that angers me the most is the bridge not giving the abandon ship order as soon as they knew that the situation was serious and that the buoyancy of the Concordia was compromised. If that was carried out then I’m pretty certain that nobody would have died. The captain and the senior crew members who should have given that order were more concerned with saving their own lives, jobs and reputations than the people who’s lives were in their hands. So avoidable and unnecessary.

      I hope the captain has seen the footage of the family w/the two terrified little girls who had to have thought they were going to die. I'm glad their father did everything to calm their fears despite he could recognize the dire events unfolding all around them. And that captain had his own wife and daughter at home while he's sneaking mistresses on his ships and apparently likes cocaine...great dad as a role model!

    I totally forgot about this, 4 days late. It has really been 10 years and I was 9 at the time... in 2017, the year when scrapping of this ship was finished, on a Sunday we visited Trieste on a family trip with my sister and parents. As we arrived at the harbour, very surprisingly we came face to face with the docked Costa Mediterranea for the very first time and although they're not sister ships, Mediterranea reminded me of Concordia. Seeing a cruise ship was my lifelong dream, even if we weren't going on board which would've been absolute wonder inside my entire body. I also remember going with the family to a shop and while in there, we heard 3 loud, long blows of a horn. I immediately knew what it was and when we came back I was right: It was the cruise ship, signalling departure and we watched as she reversed and took a left turn out of the harbour. That day was the first time I've been in Italy and saw a cruise ship in person, and that being nothing but a surprise not just to me, but us the family. *Imagine, going to a country you've always wanted to visit, but getting a surprise there too.* For us, that surprise was at a port city near the border.

    Compared to the Greek ferry that sunk because the crew was watching a soccer match, where fewer passengers were on board but 80 died, and no organised effort other than what the islanders of some greek island (equally small) did to help with their own personal boats... this looks like a perfect rescue. Perhaps the Italian CG should've come to help them. the GCG didn't.

    It’s known that she unfortunately fell into a flooded area of the ship, but I’ve also seen reports of the baby and her father being turned away from a life boat.

When we left the Costa Condordia was berthed just along the docks and it was four times larger than the "Lusty" it was absolutely massive.

The day came and went with nothing bad happening so I just went on with my life. About 2-years later I was watching a special on this disaster when they said that it happened January 13th,2012. I couldn’t believe it. I’m thinking you’ve gotta be kidding me when I was at my graduation party the ship went aground and 14 innocent people lost there life.

    Every time I watch these videos about emergencies on cruise ships and airplanes, I always think about how my mother is a brain damaged triplegic. She only has use of her left arm and speaks like a baby (she had 3 back to back strokes). Not that I even want to fly or go on a ship of any kind even by myself, but just to think about what the F I would do in such an emergency. I would never leave my mother so I know I would die with her unless people came together to help us. To hear the head of police (can’t remember his name/title) talk about how all chivalry was gone and it was essentially every man for himself at that point, I just know my mother and I would surely die. I wake up in a panic several times a month thinking there’s a fire or a flood happening in our home and I alone have to get her and my 5 animals out before we all perish. These thoughts have kept me at home since my mom became this way. I’m young and should be enjoying life but I’m just too scared and can’t leave my mom alone anyway since I have no one to help us. But I know if we were ever in that situation, I’d be praying for these mediocre days and nights at home instead. This is horrifying.
