Why were our warnings for the inclusion of orderly queues as a major priority in boat drills ignored? Simply read the passengers accounts of the scramble for lifeboat places and what happened to the notion of Women and Children first and the Captain goes down with the ship?

Will the now scuttled, Cruise ship COSTA CONCORDIA be re-used ?
I was just thinking how or what they are going to do with the now sunk CC?
will they try and re-float her using air bags and many tug boats,
I am thinking that if thats done the hull could be repaired and the ship would just need a complete re-fit.
Or will the ship be written of and cut up into smaller manageable pieces - seems a waste ?
Answer: First, it was not scuttled, and it didn't sink. It ran aground. For sure, it will be re floated, repaired , and returned to service. A $700 million ship is just too big an investment to let it be scrapped. Several things here are at stake, including Costa's reputation, and with the Italian governments involvement, the ecological issues, and forthcoming litigation, the entire cruise business will have a shake up not unlike what happened to NASA with the Challenger disaster. . Once the black box has been interpreted, many issues will settle out as to responsibility. World's Largest Cruise Lines (Carnival), Costa's parent company, has huge resources, not to mention many cruise venues with which to re employ the ship. The Concordia, for example, could be resurrected in the Carnival Line with new livery, as she is similar to several existing Carnival Ships built at the same place and at the same time, and Carnival is already renovating and selling off some of its older ships, so they could easily work this in. The real issue is where was the rock first struck, and why. Culpability will rest on whether or not the rock(s) were uncharted.The striking issue is why weren't the passengers given their safety briefing, and instructions,etc. I have been on 12 cruises; 1 Sitmar, 1 Disney, and 10 Princess, and as a strict rule, no ship has sailed until the briefing; including assembly points, ships horn procedures, life jacket doning, etc. was completed.

They are comparing The COSTA CONCORDIA with The Titanic- How big was the Costa iceberg?
Just because it is now 2012 and Tit was sunk in 1912 there is a rush to speak of dark co-incidence.
Truthfully there is really nothing to compare in those incidents.
Answer: The comparison is not relevant.
Titanic foundered in the freezing cold ocean due to fatal damage to its infrastructure and no nearby assistance. This cruise liner ran aground near the shore and luckily most people made out out alive.
