AP reports from Venice, Italy that a towering, out-of-control cruise ship rammed into a dock and a tourist river boat on a busy Venice canal on Sunday morning. Italian media reported that at least five people were injured in the crash.
The collision occurred about 8:30 a.m. on the Giudecca Canal, a major thoroughfare that leads to Saint Mark’s Square in the northeastern Italian city.
Videos of the crash show the cruise ship, apparently unable to stop its momentum, blaring its horn as it plows into the much smaller river boat and the dock as dozens of people run away in panic.
