Crew Member on Sinking Cruise Ship Reveals Simple Signal She Used to Save Herself From Drowning
The documentary uses survivor accounts, black box audio and trial footage to revisit the disaster that killed 32 people.
- "Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea," a new documentary streaming on Netflix, revisits the 2012 Costa Concordia disaster, tracing the collision and captain's delayed response that led to 32 casualties.
- On January 13, 2012, Captain Francesco Schettino executed an unauthorized sail-by salute near Giglio Island, striking rocks that caused a 230-foot cut and forcing the vessel to lose power.
- Guests described the chaotic evacuation as a scene from the movie "Titanic," with John Scimone recalling a hallway that became "effectively a 200-foot slide" while attempting to escape.
- Dubbed "Captain Coward" by the media, Francesco Schettino was found guilty of manslaughter and sentenced in February 2015 to 16 years behind bars, currently serving his term in Rome's Rebibbia prison.
- The Costa Concordia disaster sparked the largest maritime salvage operation in history before the vessel was towed to Genoa for scrapping in 2014, and the tragedy remains a flashpoint that captivates the public.
