Human error caused a cruise ship to abruptly tilt at sea last week, sending furniture and debris flying about the vessel and injuring 240 passengers, a cruise-line official said.
Though federal investigations continue, Princess Cruises president Alan Buckelow wrote in a letter to passengers that "the incident was due to human error and the appropriate personnel changes have been made."
UPDATE: After thinking it over, if I were the cruise ship company, I probably would prefer the "human error" causation to any sort of random computer glitch or mechanical malfunction. In some cases, the human factor is easier to fix.
