Thanks of sharing, will be interesting. I first looked on Discovery Channel and didn't find it, a quick search found it on the National Geographic Channel in case others have trouble finding it.

According to my Uverse program guide this NGC program about the Concordia is 3 hours earlier in the Pacific time zone at 4:00pm on Sunday & 7:00pm on Monday & I have my DVR set to record it.

Hi All

If it follows a time line made up of mobile phone footage and passenger interviews etc it could be the show made in UK shown a few weeks ago if it is its very good it just tells the facts nothingelse, does not have a go at the captain or cruising.

All the water in the world can't sink a ship unless it gets inside.

Here's their description of the program...do you think it's the same program already shown in the UK?

Italian Cruise Ship Disaster: The Untold Stories

Italian Cruise Ship Disaster: The Untold Stories weaves together in-depth stories from passengers and staff on board as well as Coast Guard rescuers with stunning home video (some never before seen on U.S. television) and CGI to reconstruct the sinking of the Costa Concordia as it happened. How did the ship sink? Could it have been prevented? Why werent the passengers warned earlier? What are the similarities to and differences from the Titanic? Italian Cruise Ship Disaster: The Untold Stories works to understand this current headline tragedy more fully - from the time the luxury cruise liner departs from the Italian mainland to the collision with rocks that tear a 160-foot gash in the port side, and from floodwaters that rush in to the delayed passenger alert to the desperate evacuation. Will uncover the decisions that cost lives and the heroes who saved them.
