That was WAY too close! This near miss follows the recent viral video of an MSC ship taking out a tourist boat and the NCL Epic destroying part of a pier in San Juan.
If you are not aware, residents of Venice are really upset over cruise ships visiting the city and thousands have demonstrated recently. I am sure this event, and the choice to dock during such a storm by the Costa captain, will not help things.

That tug is pulling hard. They had to have a local pilot at the helm?
@Graydon – Yes. Makes it even worse. Tugs should keep this kind of thing from happening!
