Re: How the heck . . .
Having a full complement of the latest, most accurate electronics and charts becomes a disadvantage when the humans, who are supposed to respond to what those things say, get complacent. . ."There is no way, with all this wonderful gear, that I can run aground."
The location of the vessel in the pix is where the Captain deliberately took her to facilitate quick, safe evacuation. It is not where the initial impact occurred. It is not known, only theorized, exactly what the ship hit, or exactly where.
Many cruise vessels look topheavy to me, and with many tons of humanity rushing about instability seems likely.
