Wow how embrarassing sigh.the is probly in jail the guy proggrammed th auto gps thing to go close to the island and left the controls to the gps well there's rocks out close to shore bud then after he hits therock he tries turn the ship around when there sinking he is the first on the lifeboat this in Italy is illegal
Costa can't leave it there. They will either sink it if the can out in open water, or bring it to dock and replace everything that was damaged, and then put on a new bottom and sail it again. Damn captain. What a retard to tell that dumb story that he "fell" in a lifeboat.
Another question would be that when vessels normally cruise in congested waters or close to shore they have the watertight doors closed. I wonder if they were open or closed, which would explain the rapid ingress of water. A vessel like this should still be afloat with 2 compartments filled
My question is, well if someone can explain to me, is that, if the ship was hit on the port side, how and why did it list and tilt towards the starboard? I am confused by that. I'd appreciate any reasonable response.
@aschiff26 Yea as per the comment posted below, I understand what you both parties have explained. Thanks for this. My next question would be whether the ship tilting to the starboard may have save her from getting more water in. i.e. if the ship and leaned on the port side, more water would have been taken onboard and sunk the ship even further and possibly completely?
@MegaElisha I think once the ship has capsized it would not matter which side she is on, because there are plenty of places for water to get in, through open windows, doors, etc.
@aschiff26 Ofcourse you're correct. I didnt take into consideration the other openings that may contribute to the water taken onboard. The ship is sitting on it side due to the shallow waters its in correct?
@aschiff26 Would you reckon there would be any chance that the ship could be saved or would they take it out to sea and sink it? It'd be a sad sight to see it sunk even it is salvageable.
@MegaElisha The watertight bulkheads on big ships run perpendicular to there length. Therefore the water can go side to side. I have no idea if this is the answer to your question but it seems relevant!
@LarryCook333 The impact was to the side of the ship, neither the rudder nor the engines were directly affected. It's not accurate to talk about the whole ship as "crippled".
That line represents the centre line of the ship, not the side! The side of the ship was MUCH closer to that visible outcrop than the map seems to indicate. The visible part of that small outcrop, including the visible part below water, is about 40m wide. NO way he should have been within 100m of it.

Reminds me of the incident with RMS Olypmic. It too had a huge hole on the side that nearly made it sink.
the accident however, was quite different.

@MegaElisha the subsequent turn to port caused the water flooding the ship to slosh to the starboard side.

@MegaElisha Yes I believe it is currently resting on the sea floor.

@bobcougar77 Yea i get what you mean! I understand what and why it MAY have caused the ship to list to the starboard side.

That visualization helps. Very interesting how he was able to turn the ship when it was crippled.
