The Story Of The Achille Lauro

Off the dangerous coast of Somalia, the cruise ship Achille Lauro ran into engine trouble and caught fire. After hours of battling it, the situation spiralled out of control and a mad dash to abandon ship was initiated. All but 150 people were trapped aboard the burning and slowly sinking cruise ship with a hastily cobbled together evacuation as their only chance of survival. Today I'm looking into the astonishing story of the 1994 sinking of an infamous cruise ship. One that had made headlines for a hijacking years prior and had been prone to fire for years. Together with the first hand accounts of Moss Hills, the ships onboard entertainer, I'm piecing together never before seen footage and reconstructing the incredible the last moments the ship was afloat.
