@@Deneberus Some are and do, to China/Russia. Usually North Koreans that are deemed very committed to the NK regime, and are sent off to China/Russia to do cheap labour to earn money to send back home for the regime. Some North Koreans also become disillusioned and defect to another country that doesn't have an extradition agreement with NK (generally Mongolia, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand or Vietnam), when they reach these countries they turn themselves into the authorities there intentionally because those countries will extradite them to South Korea. There's been a reported minimum of 34000 North Koreans who have escaped North Korea by defecting in one way or another since 1998. So generally speaking, yes you are right in the sense that it is unlikely they would be North Koreans, but it isn't absolutely implausible. And that statistic that I mentioned exclusively applies to defectors, there are thousands more North Koreans that live and work in China, Russia and Poland as slave/cheap labour.

There is a difference tho. Unlike real life , in fiction there is allways someone to answer for the actions of the characters while IRL there is none , which means that its the author's duty to leave little up for interpretation if he can . Charater actions need to be excused by motivations, personality and so on. Seccondly , the author is GOD as far as the book is concerned so he cant explain things by chance since there is no chance when you are GOD . Thirdly realism is not necesarily good .

As an italian, i can say that "incompetence and corruption" is what sums up every facet of italian history from its foundation in the 19th century to today. We have lost wars because high-ranking people put their relatives as generals instead of people who know what a war is. An example is what happened in my comune (municipality in italian) a few years ago. They received 15.000€~ to decorate the town for christmas. All they did was build a christmas tree made of rusted scaffolding covered by a green protective net with a star on top of it, something that was rumored to cost less than 400€. Where did the remaining 14.600€ go? In the hands of the camorra (neapolitan mafia). This is also one of the reasons why we don't want to pay taxes in southern italy. Schettino probably had a relative working inside Costa Crociere who let him get the job, of course without having the need to do tests and do what is needed to get to the position of captain.

"They say every ship gets the captain it deserves. Sometimes, you must mold the ship into one that deserves you." "And what do I get out of that?" "The knowledge that, no matter what sins you commit as captain, hell will hold no surprises for you." ... "So, this hell... nice place?" "Unless your crew gets there first." "And so, the captain goes down with the ship." "Sometimes, it's a race."

On the principle of reaching equilibrium, Titanic was rated to survive flooding for the first 4 compartments, not 2. 6 compartments were breached, although the 6th compartment (Boiler Room 5) breach was small enough for the pumps to keep under control. The 5th compartment ahead (Boiler Room 6) was far too heavily breached meaning her doom.

That's thanks to the SOLAS regulations that you can find in every cabin, the golden rule is to check the emergency plan the moment you get onboard, but yeah the navigation team was shocked and unable to give instructions rapidly.

How can you sink THAT much money into a ship... and then NOT hire even remotely competent crew?

[@legoferrari14]

*Insurance fraudsters* are less likely to fuck up than this, and they *intentionally* fuck up to make big insurance claims for large sums of money!

[@kelinator2000]

Boring answer is that big cruise companies cut corners wherever possible to save money because all the money went into the ship. Its usually lowest bidder wins when it comes to this stuff.

That's pretty ballsy for the mayor to just get on a lifeboat and start rescuing people personally when he's not even a sailor or crewman. Incredible how so many people stepped up and took initiative when they saw that the crew (some of them) wasn't.

[@vffa]

Yeah, kinda surprised the ship didn't abruptly sink when he entered it, consider his massive steel balls.

[@drosera88]

Nah, he wrapped a huge chain around his waist and jumped onto the rocks so he could anchor the ship and prevent it from sinking any further.

[@pepijn23]

I heard he had experience as a sailor, but I have no sources for that.

[@brookhall8957]

it's ironic for Schettino as he had to pull strings to get a job where you can direct, lead and save people and couldn't really do it and was a coward meanwhile others untrained did their best and stayed courageous in the face of this disaster.

[@drosera88]

@@brookhall8957 What's more ironic is that had he done his job he'd probably be better off now because there's a good chance that many, if not all of the deaths, could have been prevented if he just issued an evacuation order once he knew the ship was fucked. Yeah, he'd still be in deep shit, but at least people would see him as someone who owned up to what he did instead of being a laughing stock featured in an Internet Historian video.

In a way, that is what sank Nixon too (pun intended) Since JFK took responsibility for the bay of pigs disaster, while nixon further denied anything about watergate, despite clear growing evidence against himself.

The worst part about watching this was the fact that there were so many moments where such a disaster could have been avoided. I feel so bad for the people who died, because they should have lived.
