As the wreck of the Costa Concordia evolved over the weekend many were asking the questions why and how? At BlooSee, we were equally stricken with awe and disbelief as the story unfolded. Being such a significant Ocean event, we were quick to notice that initially, the major news outlets were not providing a suitable answer to the question where, as no detailed maps of the wreck were easily located. It only took a moment to plot the GPS location of the wreck into BlooSee and create an infopoint where updates for the story and its images could exist next to the exact location of the event. BlooSee was able to jump into the conversation and add some perspective by mapping out where the accident occurred.

If you haven’t yet, take a look at the Costa Concordia infopoint (http://bloosee.com/infopoints/italy/tuscany/costa-concordia/) and the surrounding area. Remember that as registered users you can comment, add photos and edit the infopoint. Our thoughts are with the families of those lost and we hope that there is some hope for the people that are still missing. The Ocean will always be a dynamic place for current events and captivating headlines. At BlooSee we are doing our best to create a place where all the different elements of a story, like the Costa Concordia, can exist.
