Costa Concordia: A Tragedy of Human Error | Spokane News

A chilling new Netflix documentary, Shipwrecked: A Nightmare at Sea, recounts the Costa Concordia disaster of January 13, 2012, when a massive cruise ship struck a rock off Italy, tearing a 174-foot gash and nearly capsizing with over 4,000 on board. It exposes critical human errors — from the captain’s risky maneuver near Giglio Island to a helmsman’s misheard command — and brings to life survivor stories, including the agonizing wait of Stefania Vincenzi for news of her mother. The film also examines Captain Schettino’s refusal to return to the ship during evacuation, leading to his conviction for manslaughter and a 16-year sentence. A sobering tale of technology’s limits and the devastating cost of human error at sea. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
