Costa Concordia 2015

[kevinatfms]

Just came back from a cruise around the Mediterranean. On our stop in Genoa, Italy, one of the people I was talking to remembered that the Costa Concordia was being disassembled in the exact port where we had been docked. On the way out of the port, we caught a glimpse of it as we passed. Looks very creepy from a passing ship that dwarfs it. Here are pictures of the Costa Concordia as of last week.

Yeah all your pics are from a pretty high perspective. The ship your on must be huge.

That is pretty crazy. Eerie knowing a good amount of people perished on that boat as you pass by I imagine.

The Celebrity Equinox. It is a truly massive beast. Made the Concordia look tiny...

well if 80 feet longer and 10,000 tons heavier equals dwarfed then i'd love to see youre reaction in the equinox when the oasis of the seas pulls up next to you!

It cost BILLIONS to rescue that ship. 32 people died. Captain got 16 years in prison.

Thoughts of "ghost ship" flooded my mind after viewing those photos. Sad story for sure. My daughter just came back from a cruise on the Oasis of the Seas, which is quite a big larger.
