Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea Becomes Netflix No. 1, Called 'Terrifying'

Shipwrecked: Nightmare at Sea has climbed to number one on Netflix's United States Top 10, reaching the top spot seven days after its July 10 release, per FlixPatrol. The documentary examines the 2012 capsizing of the Costa Concordia, which claimed 32 lives and injured 150, and includes interviews with passengers and crew who recount the crash and its aftermath.

The Costa Concordia, operated by Costa Crociere, diverted off course to pass the island of Giglio where captain Francesco Schettino had family. A miscommunication among the bridge crew led the ship to run aground on a rock reef, take on water and list onto its starboard side, and the captain delayed ordering an evacuation until the listing began.
