The Costa Concordia was carrying more than 4,200 people (January 13th, 2012) when it hit a reef off the Tuscan island of Giglio when Captin Schettino made an unauthorised deviation from the cruise ship’s programmed course, apparently as a favour to his chief waiter, who hailed from the island. One week later and the cruise ship is still lying on its side off the island coastline, with 8 people confirmed dead already and more missing.

Check out the photo below that gives you an idea of the massiveness of this Cruise Ship. Lets hope this does not turn into an environmental disaster!
