On Friday January 13, 2011 the Italian luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia ran aground near a Tuscan island and keeled over, leaving dozens of people dead and many more injured.
The captain of the doomed Costa Concordia allegedly changed the cruise ship’s course to “show off” to a colleague and his family on shore. Francesco Schettino overrode the computer-programmed route then ignored warning alarms as the liner headed for disaster. The pictures below show the outcome of this terrible tragedy.
