Well it was 9:30 pm when a big rock scrapped a hole in the side of the hull and the whole ship shaked. Then, water started to fill in the hole where the diesel generators were, they soon gave out and the engines started to shut down.the Concordia was at the the mercy of the waves and wind. The Concordia started to shift a mile at sea. Luckily a gust of wind pushed them back to the shore of the island. On the boat people couldn't get off because the captain didn't give them orders to abandon ship. Later they were able to, but there still was a lot more people on board. Now the ship was sinking to the starburst side Alot of people jumped and swam, and 32 died, ship directors say if the wind didn't push them back close to shore hundreds or maybe thousands would have died that day.
