The Italian Captain .....
Have only seen bits of this .....so I might be ill informed .....in my 2012 quest to concentrate on my own bad news and avoid more misery
...but here is my dilemma..... The captain ...if he took a stupid risk to show off...or made a mistake ...should be tried for negligence I am not so sure about this law of not abandoning ships though...I wonder if his mum, wife , kids ..would have preferred him to stay and die... I do understand ...it is an honorable way to die ...and dramatically speaking ...it is better to die with honour ....than to live in shame...but is this not rather archaic...? I know it is not the same ...but many a lad has been shot in the army for deserting or cowardice... I think I am saying that although he should be accused of negligence, manslaughter..even murder....I am not sure about accusing him of saving his own life... Don't know just can't get my head round it ....

I think that as he keeps changing his story he's definitely guilty of something. Not that any of his excuses/reasons hold up to scrutiny. "I fell in the lifeboat".... oh come on! Whether archaic or not, the captain is not meant to disembark/desert and leave the crew and passengers to their own devices. Ultimate responsibility for all on board lies with him and him alone.

I guess you are right Starshine.....ultimate responsibility..maybe it is part of the job..but what use would it have been if he had stayed and died
.... it could be argued that it is morally wrong for anyone to abandon others and save themselves.... I just think I could not stand and accuse him of cowardice when I don't know how I would react in that situation?

If you've been promoted to the level of Captain you agree to the responsibility. I'm sure everyone's gut instinct would be flight over fight but you don't get to take flight if you're the one with ultimate responsibility. If you can't accept that, don't take the promotion. It's a terrible thing to have happened but it doesn't excuse him falling into the lifeboat to safety and leaving the ship to sink with no thought for anyone else.

I think he did wrong..and should pay for all those people's lives which were lost as a result of his mistake/risk taking/lack of knowledge which he should have had
I hope I would have have helped those I could help before saving myself Just don't think I can say seriously ..it would have been more useful if he died? .....Just can't think it is right to stand trial for saving your own life ?
