Subject: RE: BS: Costa Concordia Sinking-2012
Charley... you just answered your own question, MAYBE. He said, "The Costa Concordia is a diesel-electric powered ship which means that a loss of the electrical system also means a loss of engines and steering. This could have caused the ship to go off course and hit the rocks."

Does that make any sense to you? There has never been any report of a power failure prior to the ship hitting the rocks... was there?
