A Grounding At Sea Can Ruin Your Whole Day

I just received a link to a video and narration of the Costa Concordia's track as she ran aground in Italy. I don't think the captain will be able to get out of this one. The track is derived from the ship's AIS transmissions, which include GPS coordinates.

Did he run aground on an uncharted rock? Not exactly.

Worth watching, but not for the faint of heart.
