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

[MegaElisha]

Yes i do hope so to.

[aschiff26]

I'm not a salvage expert but I hope she can be saved ...

[MegaElisha]

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.

[aschiff26]

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

[MegaElisha]

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]

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.

[MegaElisha]

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]

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

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.
