Now MSC Poesia, do these things happen in threes?

I just noticed on the MSC board that the Poesia hit a reef near the Bahamas, then struck the dock in Jamaica. Nothing compared to the Concordia of course, but this seems to be a bad week for cruise ship navigation.

 

Almost as easy to pop over to the MSC board, but here ya go.

Happy (safe) cruising from here on folks.

2 more parts to the video on the reef grounding.

Reporter has a wooden style that reminds me of an elementary school science teacher, but the videos have some interesting info.
