Smurfette&Trojan

Just watched the Discovery Channel version of the Corcordia. Surprised to learn that she was dead in the water and was blown closer to shore by the wind, not by Schettino steering her back toward the shore, as he had claimed.

I recently read that too.

More than likely part of her SIGNATURE.

 

Hmm... I have "signatures" turned off and it still shows.

Anyway, I was just wondering. :cool:

Hey Terry, my curiosity has gotten the better of me.

Do you have to cut & paste your "footer" each time you post?

Cool pics by the way.

Well that's one less brownie point for allowing pregnant women

to cruise. 5 months pregnant is pretty far along. I wonder if she

can prove the stress of the accident caused her to miscarry.

Looks like there's some sort of fire on Giglio?

I'll post a pic in a sec.

Video of divers searching the Costa Concordia. I can see a cabin interior, a bar area and what looks like a few balconies, given the furniture. Looks like the divers are tossing off the balcony furniture.

Haunting. :(

Rocky seabed and deep water.

Are you sure? There's an underwater vid of the anchors and

they are pretty much directly underneath the Concordia. Not

at all in deep water (quite a bit of sunlight filtering through).

Just wondering... it's something I keep thinking about.

Whats with the anchors? If they dropped them at 21.49, how come it stranded? Schettino must have made the decision to strand the ship later on, and ordered the anchors to be weighed. Or didnt the anchors hold the ship due to the rocky seabed?

In the video of the anchors, there wasn't any drag

and plenty of chain. I was wondering the same thing.

Giglio islanders threaten to sue Costa Concordia owners

 

The islanders of Giglio are threatening to sue Costa Cruises and its American parent company amid fears that the presence of the crippled Concordia liner will ruin their summer tourist season and deter big-spending celebrities.

I don't know. I watched Italian tv last night and the locals

were pretty stoked at the tourism. It's their off-season and

people from all over are flocking to Giglio to pose in front of the

stricken ship.

As they say... don't believe the hype. Or what may be a nuisance

to one is a gift for others. Or something like that! :confused: :)

An Italian Priest said he was going for 'a week of contemplation and prayer'. It was then discovered he was on a cruise on the Concordia.

 

He's going to have some explaining to do :eek:

Haha. Well now let's be fair. You can take a

sabbatical on board a luxury liner. Afterall,

his services were needed! ;)
