Cruise ship runs aground near Italy - Fatalities

they also are reminding the tragedy of the andrea doria in 1956 in front of Boston.Different times...
The swedish ice breaker stockholm hitted in the fog the magnificent italian beauty,cause at the swedish rudder there was a 26 yrs old kid.
As usual sweden deny the truth, and for too many years our captain calamai (a REAL seawolf, not schettino type) was accused to be the cause of the disaster.

add to this, as usual for money, the italian company left him completely alone in this mess, and the shame of the tragedy was always with him for the rest of life. without guilty.Sometimes my beloved sweden is really ugly.

Think is important to remind who Piero was:
Piero Calamai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SS Andrea Doria - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Only after his dead the US Navy made a clarification of what really happened in that night of the 1956.Not the usual slick italiano staring at girls.Not really.Of course Piero come from our Marina militare tradition, not the stupid civilian schools the use today to allow captains as Schettino.
