Benji Smith, who used to hang out on the Joel-on-Software forum, was aboard the Costa Concordia when it ran aground &amp; sank. And later wrote a book about the wreck:<p><a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Abandoned-Ship-intimate-Concordia-shipwreck-ebook&#x2F;dp&#x2F;B00AUYIKNK" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.amazon.com&#x2F;Abandoned-Ship-intimate-Concordia-ship...</a><p>Similar events happened during the wreck - the crew lied to the passengers, did not do their duty to ensure the safety of all souls on board, left the ship early, and so on.
