Yes hit a Rock
These Ships have Auto Guides
like Sat Nav.
So someone was not doing the Controls right

Captain and first officer arrested as up to 70 cruise passengers missing and three dead as survivors tell of 'chaotic evacuation'

This massive ships are Automatic Control

the secondary checking

ITV1HD Daybreak Live Reporter
has found out they were so close to the land
so the Captain & his crew want to wave to a former worker.


This is a 5 year old Ship
He is the Fool and must pay Prison time for this.

Amazing its a Massive Global Company
and you can still buy a ticket for a cabin on it
the bigger they get - the worse they run.

This is extraordinary

Yes One Man in Total control
Destroyed a New Massive Ship
and left others to Die

Looks like it was his fault then, at least once it happened he did probably save lives by steering the ship in to the coast, what ever happened to a Captain goes down with his ship though :idc:

I think it's the classic flight or fight response. I don't know about you but I would try to save myself as well..

The captain is being heavily criticised for leaving his ship before all the passengers were evacuated. Wouldn't want to be in his deck shoes.

and he is italian....now how did I guess he might be

Because it's an Italian ship?

That is irrelevant in merchant navy terms.

I was referring to cowardliness

Saw some news on it tonight.

It would be awful if you had kids with you on board.

Excuse the ignorance but how is it taking this long to look for rescuers? Is there an explosion/fire risk or something?

The divers went in early today
but then the ship started moving - so they stopped.
Also inside you can get knocked out by moving beds , tables
that are all over the place.

Another Error is New people got on
and were given a Red card for a later safety meeting
but as soon as you go on - you need to know

These ships are in a way to big for these waters

Italy's most hated man:
Facebook anger at skipper of doomed cruise liner
who 'abandoned ship hours before passengers'

Great graphics you can move

I hope they find those missing

At least its close to shore...I guess. Much better than it happening in the middle of nowhere

But Vicky this would not happen in better waters.
No one need to have died - Captain did a runner.

Look at this Rock that Split it Wide Open
thats due to being to close to shore
and these Ships have Auto Computers that stop that.

I think someone may try to Kill the Captain
and I understand why.

But more are Dead - due to the Delays.


One old boy gave his life jacket to a younger lady
he sadly died.


No one need to have died it did not Jump to that angle
The Captain is the Murder Man

:(

Still looks so surreal D:
