On Monday, January 15, the Costa Concordia cruise ship was hit and sunk in it Italy. A British woman named Rose Metcalf, told her father the scene " felt like the sinking of the Titanic". Rose is a 22 year old dancer who was performing on the cruise ship the day of the sinking. When the ship was hit, Rose was having a cup of coffee. She was performing so she was wearing her dress so she quickly ran to her cabin to change. Her father Mr. Metcalf said Rose was one of the last five people to be rescued from the ship because she was one of the staff. Rose being one of the last people to be rescued, was airlifted to an air base in Tuscany Italy. She thought she was going to have to jump down to the water as it was dark and cold like the Titanic. At least three people were killed and many of the passengers and crew members tried swimming to safety. Mr. Metcalf also stated that Rose, who had been performing on the cruise ship had lost all of her possessions. Even though Rose was safe ans not injured, she still had to get checked by a doctor.
