There are bound to be interesting discussions of navigation after this astounding event. Apparently the Costa Concordia with thousands of passengers and crew aboard has run aground on the rocks off the island of Giglio, roughly forty miles south of Elba. The hull was ripped open. The vessel is listing, perhaps sinking. It is reported that at least eight people are dead. How does a ship like this end up on the rocks?
