On 6/4/07 a Greek cruise ship carrying approx 1150 passengers and 400 crew sunk after striking a reef close to Santorini island. Reef is shown in maps, gps etc Two French people are still missing.The accident happened in broad daylight and in fair weather. The ship was well maintained and equipped with all modern navigation equipment. There was no indication so far that there was any mechanical damage or electronic equipment malfunctioning. Nowdays we only hear about ships running aground after suffering severe mechanical damage, usually under gale force weather. My question to the average people and maritime experts is how such 'stupid' accident really happen? http://www.abcnews.go.com/International/wireStory?id=3014721
