terror at sea: the sinking of the concordia
the $400 million cruise ship - which got off to a bad start when the champagne bottle failed to
break on its launch - fell prey to the omens when it sank on friday 13 january 2012 off the italian
coast. this programme pieces together the mistakes that led to the disaster. with a capacity of 3780
passengers and at an impressive 290m long and 31m high, the ship was a palace of the ocean. so how
did this boat, hailed as a glorious example of modern technology, sink? and why do some critics say
the design of these mega-cruisers is dangerous? these are just some of the questions this programme
examines as it tries to understand how, after a century of safety measures and technological
advances since the titanic, a ship with so many passengers can sink. using cgi and testimonial, it
recreates a minute-by-minute account of the timeline to tragedy, featuring exclusive interviews with
survivors, rescuers and world-renowned experts.

meh, it was ok. i learned a couple things i did not know...or hear on the news.
i was a little disappointed with the lack of quality photos and video taken before/durring/after by actuall
passengers or by the locals. a little disappointed. i've seen better photos and video by googling.
i guess i'm glad i stayed awake to watch this?
