They are going to need more than the AAA (or CAA in Canada) to right that ship. Holy shit !

With all of the technology that ships have today, how the fuck do you run aground?!!!!!

Probably some sort of malfunction. GPS recalculated

edit: note the boulder sticking out the right side of the damage to the hull.

One of the early NASA Mars probes crashed into the surface of the red planet because they confused Imperial and Metric measurements...

It's unreal that the captain would put his ship in danger for something so stupid. Of all the reasons for this accident, this wasn't one i was considering.

if this facebook stunt thing is even remotely true, the man must go to prison for the rest of his life...no parole whatsoever

imperial measurements are stupid. i would gladly take the generational bullet for not being able to estimate distances if it meant the imperial system went away forever

A local woman from here in Bowling Green was on the ship. Luckily she made it out ok and is waiting on a visa to return back to the states.

If you knew how charismatic and charming his friend was, you would understand why he did it for him.

on this note: cruises? yay or nay

never been .. probably never will go ... not my bag ... not my cup

just seems like every second episode of Dateline NBC is about a newlywed couple going on a honeymoon cruise and only 1 of them making it back to land
