Info by artistharry -- copied from earlier SD version. Channel 4 - Terror At Sea: The Sinking Of The Concordia (2012) Information Terror at Sea: The Sinking of the Concordia The $400 million cruise ship - which got off to a bad start when the champagne bottle failed to break on its launch - fell prey to the omens when it sank on Friday 13 January 2012 off the Italian coast. This programme pieces together the mistakes that led to the disaster. With a capacity of 3780 passengers and at an impressive 290m long and 31m high, the ship was a palace of the ocean. So how did this boat, hailed as a glorious example of modern technology, sink? And why do some critics say the design of these mega-cruisers is dangerous? These are just some of the questions this programme examines as it tries to understand how, after a century of safety measures and technological advances since the Titanic, a ship with so many passengers can sink. Using CGI and testimonial, it recreates a minute-by-minute account of the timeline to tragedy, featuring exclusive interviews with survivors, rescuers and world-renowned experts. |

Meh, it was ok. I learned a couple things I did not know...or hear on the news. I was a little disappointed with the lack of quality photos and video taken before/durring/after by actuall passengers or by the locals. A little disappointed. I've seen better photos and video by Googling. I guess I'm glad I stayed awake to watch this? |
