Big Wave Kills Two, Injures 14 On Cruise Ship

Yesterday a cruise ship that was taking vacationers on a cruise around the Mediterranean ran into some really bad weather. Passengers said the weather was bad when they left Cartagena on Wednesday and that the captain said they would skip Barcelona and head straight to Italy. While en route the weather kicked up then all of a sudden a 33 foot wall of water crashed into the Louis Majesty. It hit the front of the ship shattering the windows on deck 10, where people were hanging out, then two more waves hit the boat. A lot of water came inside, there was also shattered glass and damage to many rooms. Two people died and 14 more were injured. The ship docked in Barcelona where they will be flying passengers home. The ship will be docked and repaired so it can sail again by the end of the month. While bad weather is not unheard of in the Mediterranean, huge waves like these only occur a couple times a year.
