The 450million dollar Cruise ship ‘Costa Concordia’ had hit a reef off an island name giglio. Staff told passengers on the ship it was just a problem with the generator and to stay calm. After, plates starting falling and tables started rolling to the side. There was no safety drills given if something like this was to happen. At this time, the captain was no where to be found. I think that this is the captain’s fault because when they happen he managed to escape and disappear. This is sad because even though many people got out, about 11 people were found dead and 21 were missing. If I was on the boat I would cry because I would have to go to the deck immediately leaving everything in the room like my clothes and packages. I wouldn’t have anything left. This makes me scared to get back on cruise ships after only one time. I wouldn’t want to leave all my belongings in my room, I would have to go back to get it. It would feel like a disaster. I would probably have a panic attack and pass out. The captain of the ship was put on house arrest because he abandoned the ship. Researchers think the ship tipped over from it being to close to land. This is very weird. On all cruise ships, they have safety drills, but this one didn’t. Many people probably went into terror not knowing or getting instruction of how to handle this kind of disaster.
