poor buggers cant take a trick.....same company as the one that took the shortcut and hit the rocks
fire in the generator room this time apparently!.....cant get to the passengers and crew for 3 days.....no power nor lights in the middle of the ocean until rescue! I'd want me a massive pile of clean undies if I was on there!

Working in the travel industry over the years when 1 bad thing happens to a said company more things follow
A ship has reached the Costa thats drifting and is going to try and fix the problem. Fires on cruise ships are common its just they dont make the newspaper as they dont damage anything but whats in the engine rooms ect and 90% of the time the guest dont know |

Cant really blame the captain for this one, ship looks kinda old and old stuff breaks, ya get that.
Sounds like all the right protocols were followed and every one on board is safe, another link http://www.abc.net.au/news/2012-02-2...-liner/3857914 (wouldn`t wanna be a exec of costa atm lol )
