Summary

This week we go back to an interview that Matt and I did back in January 2012. This was when the cruise ship Costa Concordia sank off the coast of Italy. We interviewed a passenger who was on the ship at the time of sinking and he gave us a play-by-play of what actually happened.

0:18.7	And Ian was on the ship when it happened. We had a chance to interview him
0:21.8	right after the accident. And he gave a really compelling story. And he told everything from
0:27.3	the first initial impact when the ship hit the rock and it made his 160 foot long gash on the
0:33.8	side of the ship to boarding the life votes to looking back on it and what that
