I've seen a few posts like this.
I wonder at which point self preservation kicks in and casts aside all previous training, duty and responsibility?
Personally I don't believe it's something many of us can really judge him on.

I'll say.. thats got be the most ridiuclous excuse I've ever heard.
Wife - "Can I drive?"
Husband - "No. I'm fine"
Wife - "Oh, please let me. I really want to!"
Husband - "No"
Wife - "I tell you what, if you let me drive, just for a bit, when we get home i'll give you a ****job
Husband - "Really?"
Wife - "Promise"
Husband - "Oh go on then"
"And that, your honour, is the final entry from the black box on the costa concordia"
Just sent to me by a mate, maybe a little too soon but I don't think it's necessarily distasteful or disrespectful to anyone on the boat (well, maybe the captain a little
)

Indeed, did the dog eat his homework as well
Did his First Officer trip and fall as well, may they were holding hands
Were there any lights when the ship was on its side?

No. From what I read the power died once the ship had gone fully on its side - whilst it was slowly leaning more & more (and the people were getting off) it was still on.

That's a bit poor, you'd think it would at least have independent emergency lighting.
That excuse from the Captain is pathetic in the extreme. Even if the ship tilted and he lost his footing and just happened to fall over the railing into one of the lifeboats, what the heck would stop him getting back out again? Even if it was being lowered they could have thrown him a rope or something to get him back aboard.
If this guy doesnt do jail time then there is truly no justice.

Patch up the holes, pump the water out I would imagine.

Who's genius idea was it to have the cabin doors lock in the event of power loss?

I'm in a bit of dumbfounded about the whole thing to be honest. How come as they were that close to shore the crew weren't on a hightend state of rediness incase the ship has some form of mishap? Surely there must've been watertight doors/hatches on the entry points on all compartments under water level at the very least.
Granted you can't expect a crew of merchant seamen, barstaff and dancers to work like the crew of a Royal Navy warship but surely some form of very basic damage control could've been attempted. Close watertight hatches, get pumps working, issue SOS.

I'm guessing but I would imagine the hole in the ship was just too big, it must have straddled watertight compartments and the amount of water being taken on was just too much for the pumps.
The hole was 160ft long apparently!

Obviously they need to close the watertight doors...but it must suck royally if you happen to be trying to evacuate then suddenly this door closes in your face.
