Human error implies an aw **** moment. This seems to have been the result of a calculated movement that was doomed to failure.

Now, we cannot seriously criticize the Captain for not following the standard course. Except for a very few bodies of water, the standard courses are suggestions, not mandatory. I know the English Channel and the Great Lakes courses for the St. Claire and St. Marys Rivers are mandatory. We can criticize him for attempting to pass through an area known to be full of rocks and shoals.

I believe Carnival Corp has enough resources to survive. Micky Arison owns over 2/3 of his companies stock. Carnival owns Costa. Micky is worth around 87 billion dollars.

Smit Rotterdam, one of the salvage companies is estimating the cost of salvage at $100 million. Titan, the other salvor, is estimating costs of salvage and returning the ship to service at $150 million. The human toll, is probably going to cost Carnival about $80 million. (Ship is registered in Panama; try suing an Italian corporation owned by an American corporation which is owned by an Israeli holding company in Panama.)

With all due respect to the OP I view this with a great deal of suspicion. Unless or until I see some firm facts about this alleged incident I will not be climbing onto the outrage bus.
I feel that if this happened the British Press would be all over it like a rash.

Andy, I think you know from all my comments on similar subjects I never forget to mention those who are wounded in mind and body. I also mention those left behind the fallen for they also have to go on without a loved one.

Baz. I wear my HFH band with pride I never take it off.

Just going to order one of these to support Andy’s Boy and his Comrades
