Pier Luigi Foschi, the CEO of Costa Cruises, owner of the Costa Concordia, apologized for the disaster then told reporters at a press conference in Genoa, "We need to acknowledge the facts and we cannot deny human error."
Foschi explained that all his ships have their routes programmed into navigational systems before they embark on their voyages. The Concordia left its preprogrammed route in a maneuver that was "unapproved, unauthorized and unknown to Costa."
