PORT CANAVERAL -- A glitch in the autopilot system on the Crown Princess
likely caused the month-old cruise ship
to tilt harshly to one side, injuring 240 passengers, marine experts said

...
The 113,000-ton vessel was about 11 miles from Port Canaveral and headed for New

and furniture flying, witnesses and officials said.
..."
So it now seems the electronics are to blame.
