Very informative, thanks.
"none having to do with the ship sinking Titanic-style."
It's rare, but not nonexistent. The Costa Concordia springs to mind. Schettino ended up with all the blame, but it did seem to be that there was some degree of institutional incompetence as well. But not with the construction AFAIK
- rhaps0dy 2y agoThe Costa Concordia ship was basically beached and turned. It did not sink, rather it collided with some rocks near the coast. This is very different from "sinking Titanic-style". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costa_Concordia_disaster EDIT: oh hm, maybe you're right; like the Titanic it collided with something and water began to pour in, unlike the Titanic it was close to shore so the whole ship did not sink.
- marginalia_nu 2y agoIf nothing else there's the MS Estonia disaster[1]. Structural failure due to a wave impact leading the car deck to flood and the ship to sink. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_the_MS_Estonia
