The "Costa Concordia" runs aground off Tuscany, and the economy in Greece remains in a precarious state. The civil war in Syria costs thousands of lives, and the Mohammed video angers the Islamic faithful. Federal President Wulff stumbles over the credit affair, and Environment Minister Röttgen loses first the election and then his post. London's Olympic Games enchant the world, and Spain becomes European soccer champion. Storm "Sandy" brings misery and despair to New York, and Schlecker's bankruptcy costs tens of thousands of jobs. Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, dies, and Felix Baumgartner jumps into a new dimension. All this and more in the album 2012.
