He had a problem with the electric forced the crew to transfer all the occupants on the lifeboats in the direction of the neighboring island of GiglioThe Costa ConcordiaGiglio Island (Tuscany)OME — Six people died in the early hours of Saturday after a cruise ship ran aground off the Italian coast in an accident which forced the coast guard to evacuate over 4,000 people, media reports said.The Costa Concordia was on a trip around the Mediterranean when it hit a reef near the Isola del Giglio late Friday. The local mayor said he feared further casualties as it was proving difficult to rescue the last passengers.One of the victims was a man in his 70s who died of a heart attack caused by the shock to his system when he jumped into the icy waters, reports said.Several people were also injured in the accident, two of them seriously.Most of the 3,200 passengers and 1,000 crew members had been evacuated, but around 200 people were still on board around 0230 GMT, according to the prefect of the nearby city of Grosseto, Giuseppe Linardi.Helicopters with spotlights were being used to help rescuers."At around 8:00 pm (1900 GMT) the 290-metre-long Costa Concordia cruise ship... began taking on water and tilting over by around 20 degrees," the coast guard said in a statement, as most of those aboard were rescued in lifeboats.Passengers heard a large bang and were initially told the ship had shuddered to a halt for electrical reasons, before being told to put on their life-jackets, a passenger from the boat told ANSA news agency by telephone."We were having supper when the lights suddenly went out, we heard a boom and a groaning noise, and all the cutlery fell on the floor," passenger Luciano Castro told ANSA news agency.Some passengers jumped into the sea in their hurry to get off the sinking ship, according to the reports."It was like a scene from the Titanic," said passenger Mara Parmegiani.The local mayor said they were trying to find room to accommodate the rescued passengers, including pregnant women and children."We are trying to accommodate them anywhere we can, in schools, nurseries, hotels, anywhere that has a roof," said mayor Sergio Ortelli, who added that some passengers were even bedding down for the night in the church.The Costa Crociera company, which owns the vessel, said that it was not yet possible to say what caused the problem, but that the evacuation had been fast."The ship was on a cruise in the Mediterranean, leaving from Savona with planned stops in Civitavecchia, Palermo, Cagliari, Palma, Barcelona and Marseille," the company said."There were around 1,000 Italian passengers on board, as well as 500 Germans and around 160 French people," it added, without giving details about the rest.The cruise ship -- which boasts 58 suites with balconies, five restaurants, 13 bars, five Jacuzzis and four swimming pools -- had set off from the Civitavecchia port near Rome earlier Friday when it ran into difficulties.Boats from the nearby port helped evacuate the passengers and crew.

Feb 12, 2012 - There is no excuse for cowardice when you knowingly and willingly signed up for a task that required you to be in charge of the lives of hundreds of people. You have no basis for your "survival of the fittest" fallacy. Men and women have stood in the face of death, and accepted it willingly in order to save others. It is a basic protective instinct to shield those in need from death. It is the primal seat of empathy, and is what makes civilization possible. Further, you are...

Feb 12, 2012 - ... contradicting yourself by stating that "survival of the fittest is the name of the game," while at the same time saying that you would not kill a child to protect yourself. I highly doubt that you have even made it through an Associates Degree program, let alone making it through postgrad. Then again, online University's tend to just be degree factories that essentially just exchange cash for "credentials."
sjm8890 Says:
Feb 13, 2012 - You are wrong. It is our first instinct to protect ourselves in that type of situation. Even though it is survival of the fittest my morals woul prevent me from killing a child. I do not have an online degree becausethey didn't have them at the time. And you can not go through medical schoo and 2 year internship at a hospital on a computer.
sjm8890 Says:
Feb 17, 2012 - If you knew anything, you would know the body and mind work together. What he did was not a cowardly act. At the time of this crisis his animalistic insticts took over and he couldn't control his actions.
semperfidelis677 Says:
Feb 20, 2012 - So what do you suggest...give him a bloody medal then! With high rank comes high responsibility, this man showed nothing but incompetance and cowardice and you should not be making lame excuses for him matey!
semperfidelis677 Says:
Feb 20, 2012 - If its your job to be compassionate, how come you are happy to shoot people to save yourself? Shitbrain.

Feb 20, 2012 - The reporter just nodded his head awkwardly the whole time the ambassador was talking.
sjm8890 Says:
Feb 21, 2012 - The only thing I suggest is to let him be. In that situation he couldn't control his actions because his instincts over shadowed his morals and responsibilities. And as far as me shooting people to save myself, I am not happy to admit that. It is something my instincts would make me do.

Feb 22, 2012 - Captain Schettino was clearly drunk and distraught. He should have known better to jump ship first. He is no doubt well aware of the repercussions of the Captain abandoning ship first.
TheThavius Says:
Feb 27, 2012 - What an idiot. The guy diverts course, crashes and doesn't even have the balls to stay on the ship...
vekamaca Says:
Mar 5, 2012 - Francesco Shettino deserves death. Electric chair. To die in pain and fear because of him so many people died.
sahajad Says:
Mar 8, 2012 - That is not part of the training that a sea fearing man receives ! Captain's and the crew are given special training in these matters. Ultimately the cooks and the waiters had to do the Captain's job and rescue all the people, having no training at all. No wonder they are all mad at the Captain !. They will all give evidence against him in courts now that the trial has commenced !
sjm8890 Says:
Mar 9, 2012 - The training doesn't matter. Knowing what to do and actually doing it are two completely different things. Just because you are trained to do something doesn't mean you can actually do it when the situation unfolds. And if I was a judge I would let the captain off the hook.
sahajad Says:
Mar 9, 2012 - Gosh your ideas are surprising ! When you accept a responsible position you must act with responsibility. Otherwise one must not accept a responsible position. In a school when there is a fire the principal and the teachers have to stay back and help the pupil's out first before thinking of their own lives. If a hospital catches fire etc the doctors and the nurses have to first save the patients before saving their lives first. This is an unwritten norm in life !
coolmeditation25 Says:
Mar 20, 2012 - Well, he didn't live up to that training, did he ? Anyway the court trial will decide who is guilty but in the meantime Captain Schettino will have to put up with all the mud slinging .
coolmeditation25 Says:
Mar 20, 2012 - Well , even to jump overboard you must do so on full stomach. That is why he had to finsih his meal first . However I do not think that the captain was under the influence of drugs. He was mostly drunk . An interview given by a former nurse of the ship states that a couple of days prior to the ship's accident, the Captain was found walking along the corridors fully drunk while on duty ! However she states that the First officer was a cocaine addict !
IExposeMormonism Says:
Mar 20, 2012 - I knew there was good reason. Thanks. I wonder if he did this as an intentional act for who knows what agenda. Insurance, a labor union favor...And how could anyone at the water line of the rip be alive? There had to be many people below.

Mar 21, 2012 - Wow, I don't think you understood the joke of my comment. Look up Exxon Valdez and Captain Joseph Hazelwood.
MrOzwinner Says:
Apr 12, 2012 - The captian is an incompetent coward!! Firstly it takes him ONE WHOLE HOUR after the ship began sinking to declare 'abandon ship' so the passenger evacuation could begin, then the bastard gets out before most passengers on a life boat!! He is without doubt ment to be the best trained maritime professional onboard not off on a life raft while 60-70 year olds are still on board! what a peice of shit he is!
darthbrandon224 Says:
May 16, 2012 - wow the stupid captain abonded the life of thousands that were on his ship! HE SHOULD BE THE LAST ONE OFF THE SHIP! and he could at least try to keep HIS ship a float a little longer for the passengers that need that little bit of time!

May 23, 2012 - LOL

May 23, 2012 - So he's being charged with multiple man slaughter but there was no deaths then? WTF?
DEACONFROST11 Says:
May 25, 2012 - 2,500 years in prison it seems..One unlucky son of a gun. Lol
sjm8890 Says:
Feb 12, 2012 - No I would not kill someones child for my own safety, that is just sick. And every reasonable sane person would do that. Survival of the fittest is the name of the game.
