Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea plot
On January 13, 2012, more than 4,000 people departed aboard the luxury cruise ship Costa Concordia from Civitavecchia, Italy, for a grand adventure on the high seas. That same night, however, the ship deviated from its course. The captain of the Concordia, Francesco Schettino, had decided to treat a crew member to a 'sail-by salute' past the Tuscan island of Giglio, where the crew member's family lived. But the spontaneous detour that evening turned into a nightmare when miscommunication on the bridge led to the luxury ship running aground on a rocky reef off the coast of the island.

A good dramatic documentary, although some facts were not told It was, of course, a combination of an arrogant captain, an order that was misunderstood due to a language barrier, and a technical malfunction.
But I didn't hear the most important reason, and they didn't elaborate on it either. The captain was going to do something that was common at the time, namely a maritime salute, which was actually not allowed. That involves sailing much too close to land to give the passengers a nice view in the evening.
And another problem that was, and still is, is that no one dares to contradict the captain, because you don't contradict the boss. Even though many other crew members knew that this was very dangerous....
