Despite the notoriety of the Titanic disaster, seen here in the infographics from RMS Titanic Inc. and Ria Novosti, other recent accidents have caused a lot of commotion, like the Costa Concordia. On 13 January 2012 at about 9:45 pm, in calm seas and overcast weather, under command by Captain Francesco Schettino, Costa Concordia struck a rock in the Tyrrhenian Sea just off the eastern shore of Isola del Giglio, off the western coast of Italy. From The National Post and again from Ria Novosti comes the visual explanation of this accident.
