Modern-day Titanic: The Italian shipwreck that killed 32 people

Modern-day Titanic: The Italian shipwreck that killed 32 people centers on the Costa Concordia disaster and the account of how delayed, incorrect information contributed to chaos. The Italian cruise ship capsized off Giglio Island near Tuscany on January 13, 2012, after it hit rocks following a sail-by salute. A documentary, Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea, released for streaming on Netflix on July 10, examines how the crew initially told 3,200 passengers about an “electrical failure.” About 45 minutes later, staff acknowledged water had leaked into lower decks and begun to block access. Passengers reported furniture sliding through hallways and many rushing to lifeboats, including some exchanging cash for spots. The incident ultimately killed 32 people out of 3,206 guests and 1,023 crew, according to reports cited in the film.
