listening to De Falco yell at Schetino like he was a little kid was awesome. A smart, brave man VS a cowardly, stupid man.

[@harapaki3412]

Fool! They dont put incompetent people in charge of a 1/2 billion dollar cruise ships. Schettino did what he could according to his experience. He had to deal with incompetent and insubordinate bridge crew . And is it his fault if the helmsman has trouble understanding his orders? Who hired him ? the cruise line did. Ultimately the cruise line is to blame and Schettino is the fall guy.

@@harapaki3412Schetino left the ship as it was sinking… which I believe is either illegal or incredibly taboo for a captain. Scapegoat perhaps, but he’s far from innocent 😐

@@harapaki3412Judge! You still don’t slip out on a fcking lifeboat with the passengers before even assessing what is happening and relaying it to those who can help. Doing his fcking job rather than dipping out eh?

How any ship captain could leave before his/her passengers were safe and out of danger is unthinkable.

Cant comprehend the Captain of the Sewol, who surely knew of the Concordia disaster, would replicate the despicable act of fleeing his ship in the midst of the emergency.

[@thesimslover82884]

Worst of all, telling the passengers to stay put knowing the ship was sinking.

[@michaeldean2447]

So preventable. The Captain was a fool! They never said anything about him deviating from course so his cook could wave at his family. Wtf?

[@mikeylicksit]

de falco is mad awesome "get back on board! now, I am in command." That's the guy you want taking control of the rescue effort. schettino seemed to only want to delay the order to 'abandon ship' out of denial, fear, and cowardice, and then worked to save his own ass at the first opportunity. giglio mayor, deputy, italian coast guard, cave divers, and all rescuers will never forget this life changing event. prayers for the survivors and the families who should never have had to endure this hell.

[@vermili0n]

“You want to go home schettino? It’s dark and you want to go home?” Lmao that was badass, a brave intelligent man talking shit to a weak cowardly man

[@peterhulse1064]

That villainous captain should spend the rest of his life in prison. He fled his sinking ship and refused to return!

[@luddite333]

he said he fell into the lifeboat...yeah sure....unreal how the rat got the job as captain

[@Ken-fh4jc]

I at least give him credit for having the ship steered into shallow water. The deaths would have been in the hundreds otherwise. Still, obviously, doesn’t excuse his behavior.

[@s3rye306]

Even if that was true, he still has to explain why he never returned to the ship. The coast guard called him and told him to return to the ship to give them an update. He refused

There is a video that shows the event through video shot by passangers, that one is much more interesting to watch.

Yes I watched that one video before watching this one. Thanks for the tip. ❤😢

[@bobsch-gd6ze]

The Costa Concordia, she placed on a course that ran her into a well marked rock. The human factor is huge in this one..... The Captain was not on the bridge nor would he take the helm from the QM/Helmsmas in order to prevent the collision.

[@squirrellvr7295]

The "captain & officers" should of been dropped in the middle of the ocean in leaky rowboats full of chum...

[@ingridakerblom7577]

As someone who lives on an island, were a lot of Cruise ships go closely by, literally my back yard.. WE HATE IT when the already NOISY & polluting Cruise ships comes by. DON'T make it worse by blasting those AWFUL blaring horns heard for many many KM away, getting way to close for comfort - getting TO close & stuck, or whatever. You are already a big enough nuisance as it is. You are NOT impressing anyone...

Spark, Why are the Advertisements twice as Loud in volume as your Documentaries ??? Very annoying to what could be an excellent channel ...

[@budgetking2591]

Sad thing is if everyone went to the upper decks nobody would have dead, but nobody knew beforehand that the ship wouldnt fully sink.

[@Ken-fh4jc]

Many of the deaths were people trapped in elevator which is a horror I can’t even think about.

I went on a cruise once- personally I think if you’ve been on one, you’ve probably basically been on them all. A place regular people like to pretend they are wealthy for a few days, pfft. The food was great but honestly it was a more like a gluttenous paradise.. the service was nice but , for me, I’m just not into crowds of that size, much like Disneyland, once was enough for me . We all over-ate much too much.

[@martinhumble]

[@agata_katherina]

The people who slept thrugh the tragedy... why the alarms were not sound in the rooms? What a terrible operation, terrible capitain

[@syedshaas]

It’s a shame that they lose human life on a sinking ship. This case had lot of advantages to save the people. The vessel was close to shore and you always get time to save lives. When you compare the time and inability to rescue any one from a crashing flight. This time is so much to save all lives !

Cruises and flights is something I don’t ever do and I’m ok with that. Haven’t gone in a flight since 911

[@s3rye306]

Flights are relatively safe. Your more likely to die in a car accident.

[@jeaninepereira3446]

You're right. But I always think that if there is a plane crash the chances of survival are nill but chances of survival in a car crash is more likely. I could be wrong but just my thinking ​@s3rye306

[@thesimslover82884]

​@jeaninepereira3446 The chances of survival during a plane crash are high. 9/11 was an attack, the planes didn't crash under normal circumstances. Attempted terrorist attacks have been prevented by passengers since then. You'd be reasonably safe.

On 23 July, having been refloated, the ship commenced its final journey under tow at a speed of 2 knots (4 km/h; 2 mph), with a 14-ship escort, to be scrapped in Genoa.[42][43] It arrived at port on 27 July, after a four-day journey. It was moored to a seawall at the port, awaiting dismantling processes.[44][45] Costa Concordia on 12 September 2015, being scrapped in the Superbacino dock in Genoa, Italy On 11 May 2015, following initial dismantling, but still kept afloat by the salvage sponsons, the hull was towed 10 miles (16 km) to the Superbacino dock in Genoa for removal of the upper decks.[46] The last of the sponsons were removed in August 2016 and the hull was taken in to a drydock on 1 September for final dismantling.[47] Scrapping of the ship was completed on 7 July 2017.[48] Wikipedia

Panic does strange things to people's brains. Plus with the ship not telling passengers the correct information, it became hard to gauge when you are in danger.

[@kx4532]

What ever happened?

[@maybehuman4]

The ship was successfully re-floated, transported, and eventually condemned as beyond repair. It was scrapped in 2017. The captain was eventually found guilty of multiple manslaughter and other charges, and is presently serving a 16 year prison sentence. Five other bridge officers, including the first officer and helmsman (who did not speak the language), also plead guilty and were given prison sentences between a few months to 2 years. But in Italy, non-violent verdicts below 2 years usually don't actually serve any prison time so it's unclear if any of them did.

[@DrJ-hx7wv]

It's easy to jump on the Captain, but much of this wasn't his fault. He was never in danger, so leaving the ship was because there was nothing he could do. They weren't on the open sea and there was no power. He could do very little.

[@Hookah_Horns]

Lol. No.

[@jamesford5494]

Bullshit! The tradition says that the captain should be the last person to leave their ship alive before its sinking, and if they're unable to evacuate the crew and passengers from the ship, the captain will choose not to save himself even if he has an opportunity to do

[@yesie8375]

Are you serious? First he told the costal guards that called and asked what was going on since passengers family kept calling and he lied and said it’s a black out when he knew it wasn’t, ( that crash was his fault for deviating it from its coarse)then he abandoned the ship with his crew knowing there were still hundreds on board and when the coastal guard told him to go back and assess how many people are still on board he refused. Why do you think he got sentenced to 16 years in prison for manslaughter?

[@sandiblohm6733]

He could do little but save his own ass, and screw all the passengers. What a coward!
