Cruise shipwreck
Over the weekend, an Italian cruise ship crashed off the shore of an island. The captain was not paying attention, and accidentaly ran the ship aground. It hit rocks that were only around 100 feet offshore, and tipped on it's side. Passengers litterally had to climb straight up the tilted hallways. The lifeboats would have saved many people, but the lifeboats on the left side of the ship were underwater. They could not be used. At least 11 people have died, and 24 people are missing. The captain was arrested with manslaughter, and the company lost multiple millions, if not billions, of dollars.
