Caught this story on the news this morning - they said three fatalities and a number of injured. Apparently the running aground occurred at night, but don't they have accurate electronic mapping? How could they get far enough off course to run aground. I would imagine that the Captain is in a lot of trouble...

Well ti should not happen I think esp. with all the technology on these ships. It seems it was very close to shore. Also read there are 50-70 missing as well. sad.gif

Not real sure but I heard their was an explosion and it rip a hole in the side. The Capt. was trying ti steer the ship to land before it could sink. I am sure we will get more info. later.
