I saw the shipwrecked Costa Concordia on a recent visit to the island of Giglio, off the coast of southwest Tuscany. An American company has been awarded the contract for the demolition, which is set to begin soon. Most likely the Heils, the American couple who perished here, were distant relatives of our family, as the Heil name was common only in one small village near Darmstadt, Germany. What a tragedy, and an avoidable tragedy at that.
