| Sunken, damaged boats in Sicily after a Carnival Cruise ship got to close to a jetty |
In late August, the humongous Carnival Vista cruise ship departed port in Messina, Sicily. Whoever was piloting the thing came to close to a jetty and a marina where numerous small boats were docked.
As you can see in the dramatic surveillance video at the bottom of this post, the results were not pretty.
According to Cruise Law News, several passengerfs aboard the Carnival Vista thought their ship hit the piers, but that was not the case. It just came much, much too close.
Several small boats sank, others were crushed. The pier was destroyed. Luckily, there are no reports of injuries.
Italian authorities said they're investigating. The incident caused about 250,000 Euros in damage, which is the equivalent of about $280,000, says Cruise Law News.
No word yet from Carnival on what caused this, or what they might do to make amends.
Did someone say lawsuit?
Here's the video:
