These things are not supposed to happen. The Costa Concordia ran aground, Friday, off the tiny island of Giglio near the coast of Tuscany. 4,229 passengers and crew were on board. Five people died, hundreds were injured and more than 60 are missing.

We will hear much more about this story as it unfolds. I suspect human error to be the cause. Of course, my suspicion is subject to human error.

Prayers to the injured and families of the deceased.
