The big news story here in Europe today is the sinking of the cruise ship Costa Concordia off the Italian coast. It is almost like the Titanic disaster repeating itself a hundred years on, though fortunately much closer to shore so many more survivors. Three confirmed dead and at the time of typing this there are still more than fifty people unaccounted for.
Mainly Europeans on board, Italian, French, German and Brits.
Up until Christmas my girlfriend Gabrielle was driving feeder buses for passengers to and from Costa's Mediterranean cruises.
There have been a few threads about cruise ships on Xmarksthescot as we appear to have quite a few of our members who participate in cruise ship holidays (vacations). I hope all our members are safe. Prayers for the survivors and for the relatives of those who are missing or confirmed dead.
