Default 17 dead , 16 missing in the Italy Ship that got like the Titantic



To many Jumped in the sea


Was the crew Pissed?







'It was like a scene from the Titanic': At least three dead and 4,200 panicked passengers and crew evacuated after luxury cruise liner carrying Britons sinks off coast of Italy

* Costa Concordia developed electrical fault two hours after leaving port
* Three bodies recovered from water and 4,200 passengers and crew evacuated
* One victim, 65, died from heart attack following shock of cold water
* Passengers 'forced to leap into the water to swim to safety'
* Liner had listed so badly 'lifeboats had difficulty being launched'
* 24 Britons on board but none believed to have died or been injured

This massive ships are Automatic Control
But the Captain and his crew took their eyes away from
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.

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

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.

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

Facebook anger at skipper of doomed cruise liner
who 'abandoned ship hours before passengers'

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.
