To all the people's defending the captain: Schettino was the one who sank the ship and he is not the saviour you think he is. He made it go too close to the coast just because he wanted to do the traditional greeting to Isola del Giglio (a greeting that is not in the ship schedule but some do because of tradition). Schettino was careless just because he wanted to show off and, instead of caring for safety, he decided to do the greeting without even checking the path of the ship. He also didn't contact the port security right away and informed them of the danger. He took time and lied, saying it was just a BLACKOUT after (and only after) he was contacted from outside because of a crew member that was scared and contacted a relative. And I dare you to say that that didn't contribute to what caused the panic and deaths that happened. So, if you think that "saving" most of the people from the disaster you made because you were careless, killing around 50 and leaving the ship before the others is what a saviour should do, then I'm speechless. Try telling that to the families of those who died.

[@Kim-vs4vb]

[@tomboychick]

The captain of the Titanic isn't the only person at fault for its sinking. Long before she set sail, she had a fire onboard & a few other small issues. All of which weren't checked to see if she was safe to sail, let alone take passengers. It was a whole host of failures that culminated in her fate. The captain of the Concordia however has no such excuse. He chose to put that ship on a course that he knew was potentially dangerous. There was nothing wrong with the ship itself. His actions - or lack of - made things worse after the ship hit the rocks too. Turning the ship allowed more water to pour into its sub - compartments, which caused it to list at that odd angle. It also left the ship vulnerable to the tidal currents & winds, blowing it off course, with no means to counter it. That sandbank was a blessing in disguise, otherwise the ship would've continued taking on water, causing it to tilt even more & become fully submerged.
