the only reason the captain stayed on the ship
was to stop salvage rights
and the shame years ago of losing their ship
would live with them the rest of their lives
so easy option was to end it all

I wonder how true are the stories by the survivors on the news that the only members of the crew to organise the evacuation of the ship were the stewards etc who were serving dinner. According to them the crew (officers etc) were first in the life boats. One said they pushed children out of the way to get there. Unfortunately the ship had only just embarked and had not had the safety measures explained. I suspect that people in a panic also don't see everything, they maybe imagined they had been abandoned.

did the ship sembark from there then where was the pilot? Surely if he was still on board he would of warned of the danger? I heard they was passing through

its just been on the news
the harbour authorities told the captain
to get back on the boat and evacuate his passengers and he didnt

he could well be charged with manslaughter

well the lesson for disabled people going on cruises seems to be "put a lifebelt on when embarking" and do not remove it until the cruise is over - that way you'll be safe!!!

These cruise ships are actually very safe. Look at this clip to see just how much punishment they can take!
