Mail Online has published new photographs of the Costa Classica cruise ship following the October 18th collision with the bulk carrier Lowlands Longevity as the two vessels headed into port in Shanghai.
We reported on this yesterday: Costa Classica Cruise Ship Collides with Cargo Ship.
The photographs show a large gash into the passenger cabins, with ten porthole windows completely obliterated. The gash looks to be at least four feet in height. You can see people (probably marine investigators) standing near what used to be the portholes in the passenger cabins. Scary stuff!
Be sure to check out the video of the damage, via Chinese television.
