Wow!
Having been on several cruises
and having some familiarity with these giant boats, I cannot believe my
eyes. The person who took this footage
was extremely brave or foolish because there was no telling how that was going to end
up. These ships weight around 65,000 tons
and even though it was moving at a slow rate of speed that dock could've been
destroyed. Good thing that tourist boat acted as a buffer from the ship hitting the dock directly. Amazing! The captain of this ship is toast.
Fox News reports several people were injured in Italy after a towering, out-of-control cruise ship crashed into a tourist river boat and dock Sunday morning in Venice as tourists ran in panic as a ship's horn blared.The collision happened around 8:30 a.m. on the Giudecca Canal, a major thoroughfare that leads to the city's famous Saint Mark's Square.

Looks like the tourist boat may have been untied which saved it.
