BigDogCT Posted April 19, 2012 #6 Share Posted April 19, 2012 I'm tempted to get a t-shirt with 'Vada a bordo CAZZO' on it for my cruise in May. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowmeo Posted February 28, 2013 #7 Share Posted February 28, 2013 I just watched this episode online at Nova's website. Lots of Carnival footage (for good and bad reasons). I think all cruises should watch it. Not to put them off from cruising, just so that they may be a little more prepared if something bad happens. Biggest thing I took away from all the accidents is that if your gut is saying something is very wrong, listen to it! The whole show was fascinating from start to finish, especially the part with the guy that was on the Oceanos and the Achille Lauro! After watching it I went to look up the island that the Costa Concordia had beached on and was amazed that you can see the ship in the satellite view on Google Maps. It's very weird. That captain needs to pushed off a ship at sea and not "accidentally" into a lifeboat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPete Posted March 1, 2013 #14 Share Posted March 1, 2013 "The world asks, WHY?" Interesting seeing the two captains split screened. And the Ecstasy fire. It was also interesting seeing new footage of the Legend crash. Good show! So it's the height we should now be worrying about. Makes sense.

TullMan Posted March 2, 2013 #15 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Good show. I think since this first aired the captain has lost the credit given for beaching the ship. That credit now goes to an unusally strong on-shore breeze as the engine room flooded early in the disaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
