The Story Of The Costa Concordia

On the evening of January 13th, 2012, the cruise industry was forever changed after the modern, family cruise ship, the Costa Concordia collided with rocks and sank off the coast of Italy. The thought of a modern cruise ships, catering to families and couples on a romantic Mediterranean getaway, would be able to sink like she did, is truly unfathomable. Let's break down what happened from start to finish and check out the true story of modern histories most famous ship disaster.

If you are looking for a material look up South Korea Sewol disaster on April 16 2014. The ship was overloaded, a turn was taken to sharply, causing the ship tilt, then roll over. The captain was a coward and abandoned 300 passengers and crew (most of them high schoolers) for dead. The worst part was the ordeal after it sunk, the government at the time tried their hardest to keep their image clear, and to burie the story from the public, they failed, and that event changed South Korea forever.

An update for those who might be curious. Schettino was arrested, sentenced to 16 years in jail and had his family and career destroyed. He is widely considered a national shame and was at one point the most reviled man in Italy. To this day people throughout the country despise him and his actions. De Falco (the Coast Guard officer) became a Senator for one term only to then return to the Coast Guard. Funnily enough, the two men come from the same city (Naples).

I learned 2 things from this video: 1) If a ship is deemed “Unsinkable,” do NOT ride on it. 2) Take the freaking stairs.

[@PlayingWithFire18]

I ALWAYS took the stairs when I cruised. First of all, you have to burn all the calories you can since the food is so good. Secondly, you can get trapped and die.

[@chuofearth9672]

Well, sometimes, like on the Lusitania, stairs are NOT an option. 1. It could be dark and you could slip. In an elevator, there are buttons that help you. 2. The stairs maybe exploded on impact from an explosion or by hitting rocks, etc. 3. The stairs are too far away, so you have to settle for elevator.

[@generalkt5398]

Chuofearth Yes, the solution to these problems are simple: 1) Scale the side of the ship. 2) Scale the side of the ship. 3) *Scale the side of the freaking ship.*

The coast guard is class here. That job comes with an immense duty of care and you shouldn't take the position unless you understand what that means for you. In 1956 another Italian Captain Piero Calamai conducted the most successful rescue at Sea in history. His ship collided with another ship initially killing 46 people. After making sure all surviving passengers were rescued he refused help stating he wanted to go down with his ship as atonement for the collision which was later found to be the fault of the other ship. The rescue party refused to leave Piero to die however and he lived until 1972. It's reported that the accident haunted him, he never sailed again and on his death bed asked "are the passengers safe? Are the passengers off?" A true Captain.

I think the most frustrating thing in an emergency like that is a lack of direction from the crew. They provided almost no direction to the passengers and it was up to the passengers to see what was happening and act to save themselves.

The direction and coordination is supposed to come from the captain, who, well..

[@brandonlyon730]

If I recall, the coast guard only got word about this when one of the concern passengers called 911 (or the Italian equivalent of it) and told the police everything which they then informed the coast guard about it, which finally lead to them finally trying to get ahold of the Captain.

The captain of the Norwegian Dawn was fantastic and cut the wave perfectly.. from what I read there was some blown out cabin windows and flooded cabins but no serious injuries.. those Norwegian captains really know what they're doing.. that 70 ft road wave was higher than the ship and could have easily capsized that cruise ship if it were not for the experience and professionalism of the captain

[@18Hongo]

In fairness to the Titanic, she sank because of some really strange circumstances and an absolutely bizarre collision angle. There was maybe one real howler of a decision from the crew that played a role in her sinking. Everything else was a failure of the systems and procedures of the time. Concordia should never have been that close to the coast. This was probably one of the rare times when a major disaster was primarily due to human error rather than systemic failure. As an aside: Empress of Ireland was largely a freak accident, although her captain's decision to alter course in a fog bank wasn't exactly a shining example of level-headed seamanship. She might have had one of the worst collisions in maritime history, but at least her crew did their duty (and admirably so). Take a ship like the Arctic, on the other hand - combine a bad collision with a crew made entirely of Captain Schettinos (except, ironically, the captain), and you start to see just how shameful a sinking can be.

If you think about it, it makes everything even worse.

I doubt there was anything they could do about the people who were stuck in the elevators though :(

[@AnnaFresa1]

He’s right, dying from impact is different than drowning.

[@revenantghost6160]

The point is that the ship shouldn't have sinked with that kind of damage, watertight doors didn't work, the emergency diesel engine didn't start, therefore losing hydraulic power to the rudders (ship uncontrolable), this also led to the elevators getting stuck, the NAPA computer meant to assess damages and do calculations on how long the ship can float did completely shut down and didn't start ever again, the crew in the machine rooms did check manually where the water was coming from and they kept giving oposite informations all the time (water coming from left, no wait from right, no wait from left and so on), the stabilizers (those little wings that open on the sides of the ship) have been opened by the auto-pilot but couldn't be closed due to a malfunction in the panel, this increased the turning radius (possibly leading to the collision with the rock), the helmsman did execture manouvers in the oposite direction as the ones asked by the commander, look, the commander may have made a lot of mistakes but if the ship's systems and it's crew didn't behave so poorly the ship would have safely docked in the port and it would have been just another mild accident like the many that happen everyday going unnoticed due to no fatalities nor wounded. So yes, people didn't die by the impact but from how the ship and it's crew behaved afterwards.
