Charley... Fron the CBC program... she was supposed to be 5 miles out but she was 0.5 miles out, under visual control and the captain turned off the alarms which would signal they were too close to rocks that could damage the ship.

The Captain and crew did not warn the passengers... they were told everything was okay but MANY passengers actually went to the lifeboats and got in them. Within minutes, the captain was informed that the engines were gone, the lights were out... it goes on... unreal.
