Survivor Recalls the Costa Concordia Crash

The Takeaway

Last night rescuers hunted for survivors from the Costa Concordia cruise ship in a race against time.  Eleven people have died and more than 20 are said to be missing after the ship crashed into rocks off Italy’s west coast on Friday. Costa Cruises blames the captain of the ship for the crash claiming that he changed course, veering too close to the nearby island of Giglio. The captain is presently being detained on suspicion of manslaughter, but denies any wrongdoing.   Ted Scull  is a contributing editor for Cruise Travel magazine. Ian Donoff is a survivor from the Costa Concordia cruise ship.
