Sat. Jan 18, 2012. Costa Cruises confirms the evacuation of about 3,200 passengers and 1,000 crew members on board of the Costa Concordia. An incident occured near the island 'Isola del Giglio' of the coast of Italy. The evacuation started promptly, but the position of the ship has worsened, making it more complicated to complete the last part of the evacuation. At this moment, the cause of the incident cannot yet be confirmed. The Company is currently working with the highest commitment to provide all the needed assistance. The Costa Concordia was sailing across the Mediterranean Sea, starting from Civitavecchia with scheduled calls to Savona, Marseille, Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca, Cagliari and Palermo. About 1.000 passengers of Italian nationality were onboard, as well as more of 500 Germans, about 160 French and about 1.000 crew members.
The Guests had to embark today in Savona and in subsequent ports will be contacted directly by Costa Cruises.

Management case

Theme Park: Die Ostalgie-Welle rollt weiter: In Berlin ist ein "DDR Funpark" geplant. In den Rathenau-Hallen in Oberschöneweide im Osten der Stadt soll nach Angaben der Kunsthistorikerin Susanna Reich "DDR-Alltag zum Anfassen" dokumentiert werden. Noch sei das Projekt in der Planungsphase. Auf keinen Fall wollten sich die Veranstalter, die Massine Productions GmbH, über die DDR lustig machen. "Das Ganze soll inhaltlich korrekt sein und einen fundierten historischen Hintergrund haben", Der Gang durch den Themenpark soll DDR-typisch mit Einreise und Zwangsumtausch beginnen. In der Show können die Besucher dann den ostdeutschen Alltag kennen lernen: Vom Wohnen, Einkaufen, Möbel, Kleidung bis hin zu Filmen. Die Ausstellung richtet sich besonders an Touristen. n-tv 2003
