When Laurence and Andrea Davis of Calgary sat down to have dinner aboard the Costa Concordia cruise ship, they had no idea that moments later they would jump into the cold Mediterranean Sea and swim for their lives to shore. Their son-in-law, David Hornsteen, said in a phone call home shortly after the disaster, they described a scene of chaos and little direction from the crew. (The Costa Concordia ran aground and capsized January 13th off the Tuscan island of Giglio after Captain Francesco Schettino took it off course in a stunt. He stands accused of causing the shipwreck, manslaughter and abandoning the ship before all passengers were evacuated.)

Transcript Prediction: << crew is trying their best to do what they could but I'm and I'm not even sure from the order which he was saying if they actually even got to hear the evacuation sound alarm from the ship before they had actually left because the ship it only announce that there was an electrical issue not the people needed to leave the ship but it sounded like everyone was trying to get off the ship before the ship even announce to get off >>
