Its been over 20 months since the Costa Concordia sailed into the rocks near the little port of Giglio. Thousands of passengers and crew panicked. 32 souls perished. 2 bodies of the dead remain in the sea.
Here is my first blog about the disaster. Little did I know just how bad the situation really was that night.
Its been over 20 months since the eyesore of the capsized Concordia lay on her side at the port like a beached whale.
Its been a crime scene ever since. Captain Schettino is standing trial for manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning ship. The Costa organization and parent Carnival Corporation largely escaped liability, with all of the blame carefully heaped on the unpopular "Captain Coward."
I wonder where Captain Schettino is this morning? What is he thinking?
What are the families of the dead and missing feeling at these early morning hours?
I bet Carnival cruise tycoon, Micky Arison, is sleeping like a baby, without a care in the world.
It looks like a beautiful morning in Giglio.
It’s time to right the cursed ship and prepare to take her from her watery grave.
The "parbuckling" salvage efforts finally begins.
