The sinking of the Italian owned cruise liner Costa Concordia during the night of January 13 2012 is the most recent cruise ship disaster. At 9:45 local time in the night of January 13th 2012 the Italian cruise liner Costa Concordia was sailing dangerously close to Giglio island off the coast of Italy when she struck a rock. It probably would have been a Titanic scale disaster had the ship not been blown onto a shallow rock ledge. The captain is currently on trail for going so close to the island and for not leaving his ship last(in Italy it's a law that that the captain must be the last one to leave the ship). The ship is currently lying at about a 70 degree angle half submerged in water.
The Costa Concordia lying on her side.
I found a pretty good series of youtube videos on the sinking of the Costa Concordia,hope you enjoy.
