Subject: RE: BS: Costa Concordia Sinking-2012
I don't reckon the old folk would realise it's all the same umbrella corporation. I would never go on a cruise, so I've not got a clue about the different lines etc. No matter how well-built and provided with all the latest technology, as we see, a ship relies ultimately on the Captain's attention to duty. The Titanic was whizzing along in the dark (on Captain's orders), much too fast to avoid a 'berg', in order to do the trip in record time.
