Nothing like it since the Titanic, almost 100 years ago

More horror stories are emerging from the cruise liner Costa Concordia. The passengers attempted to abandon the ship in an atmosphere of panic and chaos.

Straight out of a scene from "Titanic"

The stricken cruise ship lying off the coast of Italy is a good example of why I won't be taking any cruises any time soon. 

The terrifying escape from the luxury liner [Costa Concordia] was straight out of a scene from "Titanic." Many passengers complained the crew didn't give them good directions on how to evacuate and once the emergency became clear, delayed lowering the lifeboats until the ship was listing too heavily for many to be released.
