The cruise ship that almost destroyed a pier
You had one job!
Well it safe to say the Carnival Vista won't be invited back to this port in Italy any time soon.
All seemed calm when the ship, which carries nearly 4000 passengers and is the newest in the Carnival Cruise Line's fleet, was leaving Messina.
That calm didn't last long.
It is not known why the ship came so close to the pier and port authorities are investigating.
To see the damage, watch the video above. Have you ever had this sort of encounter with a cruise ship? Let us know in the comments section below.
