A New Toy!
As heartily as I detest the modern concept of "cruise ships", and despite the schadenfreude that I feel to see them wreck their own boat against another of their fleet, my inner Grammar Nazi most heartily approves of their PR agent:
Carnival is referring to [the boat-wreck] as an allision as opposed to a collision (seeing as one of the ships was not actually moving at the time)
I wasn't even aware of the word, although (as with many things) it seems obvious once it's pointed out. Now, of course, I find myself newly and joyfully armed with an extendible array of terms to describe multi-vehicle pileups :D
