Dizzy Posted February 11, 2015 Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 One of the reports says his 'decision to abandon his post before all the passengers were evacuated and seek safety on board a lifeboat that most enraged Italians after the disaster' and he had said 'he had slipped and fallen into the safety of the lifeboat'. I wonder if his sentence would have been less if he hadn't done and said that.Such a terrible tragedy and one that should never have happened Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asperity Posted February 11, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2015 I'm a Shipmaster and can tell you that it's the Master's DUTY, in the event of such a disaster, to ensure that everybody is safely off the ship before he leaves the ship himself.
