Sorry for the strong use of words in the title

But when you read the article about what captain Francesco Schettino have said and done on the bridge before, under and right after the disaster.

He is also a shame for those captains that do they jobs, even in crisis.

This line really got me.

He has claimed he later "tripped" and fell into a lifeboat which took him to shore before the evacuation was complete

A bad captain is the weakest link of any ship. Even the high tech vessels of today.

I defended the guy at the time because the information was fragmented and a lot of conclusions were being jumped to by both the public and the company who employed the captain. However, this evidence certainly stacks up against the captain.

Not looking good for him but he did this by himself.
Too bad his stupidity came at the cost of people's lives
