  • IT DID CAPSIZE, WHY ARE YOU PEOPLE SO RETARDED? IT WAS ON ITS SIDE.

  • The 'Captain goes down with the ship' concept is not an abstract one, the premise being that the Capt should be the last survivor off the ship. If the ship does go down (sink) with lives still on board then the Capt should be among them. It's the Captain's ship, he/she is responsible for both the vessel, and all lives onboard.

    (HMS Titanic) Captain Edward Smith went down with his ship. (RMS Lusitania) Captain William Turner was on his bridge until he was swept out to sea by surging waters. ...

  • TRIPPED,YEA OVER HIS BULLSHIT,THE GUY IS NUTHIN LESS THAN A COWARD,HE LET THE PASSENGERS KNOW TO ABANDON SHIP A HOUR AFTER HE SHOULD HAVE,HES ANOTHER MUSALINY OR HOWEVER THE COWARD SPELLS IT,HE HAS 32 PEOPLES DEATHS ON HIS HANDS,HE IS YELLOW,TRYING TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS,THE GUY IS A WAP COWARD,THE MAYOR THAT HELPED IS A ITALIAN HERO,BACK IN THE DAY HE WOULD HAVE BEEN FLAWGED,HE SHOULD NEVER BE ALLOWED IN A CANOE AGAIN,AS WELL SHOULD DO LIFE,THE COMPANY SUED,PIECE OF VERMON,COWARD

  • so i see you fuckers later ( " > < " )

  • It didn't sink either, he didn't get off FIRST and its a completely understandable and believable story. RETARDS

  • @MrKapfreebird You're defend the piece of shit? You must be italian.

  • @The1stPoster not Italian but someone a dam sight more informed than you on Maritime subjects, (and judging by the wit and sophistication of your riposte, probably many more to boot.)

  • @MrKapfreebird Are you the captain of that ship ?

  • OMG IT DIDN'T CAPSIZE!!!!!

  • OMG these peeps are morons. Have they ever been on a ship listing to such a degree? This is the most uninformed piece of crap...

  • what a mouth

  • Cenk owns a cruise ship, and knows how to balance on a ship that's sinking, isn't that right?

    You would never lose balance.

    A Sea Captain isn't a fuckin' gymnast!

  • A BBC article, "Must a captain be the last one off a sinking ship?" (BBC News Magazine, available online) sets out the legal position. It seems that the company has to file a disaster plan which includes instructions as to who is responsible for the safety of the crew and passengers, if the captain is not so designated then he is free to leave the ship at any time. The plan for this particular company has not been made public so its anyone's guess if his actions were legal or not.

  • Yea, and my friends girlfriend tripped, fell & landed on my dick...over & over...

  • LET ANA FINISH CENK WTF!

  • That story is right up there with a story from about twenty years ago where a man was accused of stabbing his wife to death (she had over 150 stab wounds) and he claimed that it was an accident and she fell on the knife.....150 times.

  • @Hammerhead547 haaaaaaaah, did you see the movie chicago

  • Something about these guys piss me off...

  • @MrReviewalot I think its cause they act professional but they are not.

  • You'd have to be absolutley gullible to believe his story of tripping into a lifeboat. I only hope if he is convicted and goes to prison one of his cellmates accidently trips into his ass.

  • Worst. mariner. ever.

  • Ana has not improved at all during all these years. Lets face it, she is only in the show because they need boobs on the set, Period.

  • self preservation instincts kicking in?... No thought processes outside of your own survival? sounds like a natural response towards danger to me, anyone who's trying to say that's stupid, i'd like to see how they'ed handle it! I wouldn't blame the captain for freaking out... Blame the company for not training their captains well enough on how to handle the ship and keep emotional control!

  • Of course nobody's seriously demanding him to go down with the ship. But as the captain he should stay as long as possible to help because it's his responsibility as a leader. When you sign up for a job like that, you KNOW that you have a duty to fill. If you're not ready for that, don't become a captain.

  • @Tuuliska Exactly. You don't become a surgeon if you don't like the sight of blood...so why would this idiot become a captain and then hike up his skirt like he saw a mouse when the ship started sinking? I also think I remembered watching on a program that this was not the first time this happened.

  • The black guy's clueless

  • Its scary because you would think even if a ship did happen to crash, there would be some kind of well planned process of getting everyone off safely. It seems like everyone was in a panic, and not working together properly.

  • @itscat92

    There is that process just like on an airplane. The staff and captain are usually trained in getting people quickly to lifeboats and putting on life jackets.

  • Who the HELL thinks going on a cruise is the safest thing in the world?

  • @NinjaPutz

    I agree. They all probably watched titanic.

  • Punishment for this motherfucker:

    Every day, he spends 12 hours in stocks in a public place where people can spit on him, throw shit at him, and do whatever else they see fit, short of lethal force.

    The other 12 hours he spends locked in solitary with images of dead, drowned passengers from his ship in their rooms and the ship's hallways. This will be displayed upon all four walls, the ceiling and the floor using projectors.

    I think about 10 solid years of this would be sufficient.

  • It is HIS job to coordinate the effort to get as many people to safety as possible.

    As aidenmccloskey mentioned just below me.

    Cenk is right.

    Jayar is wrong, and Ana is stupid in this instance for defending the captain.

  • Cenk is right. Ana is an idiot. Jayar is wrong.

  • Captain Francesco Schettino of the Costa Concordia cruise ship is a fucking coward. He had the rest of his crew report back to the passengers to tell them that a generator had blown up and that the people should return back to their rooms. People then did so while others went to the restaurant for something to eat. Because of his actions and orders people died. People have been found in their rooms and in the restaurant. This man is a fucking coward.

  • Over the news, there were also weird stuff happening in the ship.

    1. People were fighting for Lifejackets

    2. The captain was in dinner, and after hearing the ship ran aground, went back to his dinner.

    The next one is actually kind of disturbing.

    According to passengers who managed to get off the ship, while the ship was sinking, one song played in particular. The song from the titanic movie. Imagine hearing that song, while the ship was crashing.

    I don't mean to be a conspiracy theorist, bu

  • @Crewie1039 Considering that the Titantic tragedy occured 100 years ago, it's eerie to think about what happened that night and now this occurs nearly exactly 100 years later. It may not have been as tragic now as it was then, but it is still tragic. And I hate to sound barbaric, but I hope they beat his fucking ass in prison.

  • @pedalpunk57

    ships sink every year

  • I'm no expert, but living in a coastal community on the North Atlantic, I have heard my share of stories.

    Apparently, the captain does not leave the ship until every passenger is no longer on board and is accounted for. Ex. Captain of Titanic went down with the ship, because not everyone was rescued.

  • I don't get it.. are those guys turks?

  • @dipshipter a "Young Turk" Means someone who wants to overthrow the current way of government. They don't necessarily have to be turkish... Jayar and Ana Kasparian are not turks.

  • @XAlienByteX its based off the historical "young turks" wich was a political party that rose to power during the fall of the ottoman empire. that tried to recentralize and prioritize the home front in turkish politics. basically they stop gving a fuck about the rest of the world "or collapsing empire". and focused on rebuilding turkey proper. its saying they want to refocus us policy to internal affiars and stop wasting time in money on foriegn intaglements.

  • @ANCHORSaweighMYboys Aahhh I see! Thanks for informing me.

  • I like how Anna stood up for herself in this one. Cenk does try to talk over her pretty often.

  • Step 1: Turn on captions

    Step 2: Laugh

  • The rest of the passengers probably didn't want him on the ship either.

  • hey... I just slipped into your gf's pussy man, can't blame me like you

    can't blame that caption.

  • @muterabbit

    They do, just after everyone else. It's kind of like a firefighter in a burning building. You wouldn't want him to haul ass before everyone else, he has a duty to help others. Same as you and I if we signed up for a job that required you to help others at the cost of your own life.

  • I once tripped and fell in and out of a bank vault.

  • lmao!

  • His crime is not leaving the ship, it's leaving the ship before the passengers got off. He should have been the last one off.

  • Captain goes down with his ship -n-'

  • @Stevie68000

    Spoken like poor white trash.

  • Can you imagine an airline pilot bailing out at the first sign of trouble?

  • @ANCHORSaweighMYboys Except thats not how it works at all he is governed by italian laws, there are numerous laws (International and italian) that state the leaders of a ship must help with evacuation and are not to abandon there post or abandon ship until they are the last ones out.

  • @keggerous He still chose not to give an evacuation order for an hour, then left the 1st chance he got.

  • I'd get in first as well, fuck some 10000 dollar fines, this is my life we're talking about

  • @TheCagedTiger actually he is responsible for the accident and will end up in jail if convicted for loooong time ...

  • @snaforfun

    Ye, I don't care, I'd still be the first off

  • I disagree. You really don't know anything about the moment of a capsizing ship.

  • Dude's a real life Zapp Brannigan... he steered the boat into a knowingly dangerous place full of rocks because a staff member said he wanted to do it for his girlfriend, said the place looked nice or something. He went against the ship mates orders to go there and now he's claiming that he tripped into the life boat. That's sickening.

  • In Italy the law says a captain can not abandon a ship until it has been fully evacuated. So not only is this guy a tool, he's going to jail.

  • commentors in this video are wack....A ship capsizes and all of a sudden 9/11 is one of the topics.

  • Cenk is getting really bad about interrupting Ana. You can tell she finally got sick of it this time.

  • Who in the company made this guy captian. Some one is overseeing him. It woild be interesting to see his personal folder. It could be like Capt. Hazelwood of the Exon Valdez. I'm anticipating the court case.

  • He was responsible for the ship and everyones lives on it. The fact of the matter is that him jumping ship like that is no different than a husband leaving his wife and kids in a burning house to save his own ass. Yes the wife should know what to do to get out herself but you're a fucking asshole for leaving them. That captain is responsible for anyone who died on that ship.

  • @jakeem823 Accidently downed your comment, meant to up it. :/ Just apologizing.

  • cenk, don't put politics into everything, it won't make you any friends

  • he is a coward just like our congress and presadent%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% 0

  • The awkward moment when there would be a video camera saying that the Captain actually DID trip into the boat.

  • I would expect a naval captain to be the last person left on the ship, but to expect him or her to go down with the ship? That's just ridiculous.

  • @muterabbit

    It's actually a law for them to stay on the ship until the last person is safely off. That takes time so they usually wind up going down with ship.

  • @Kitsune1414 Okay. All I was saying is that they should at least have the option to abandon ship if there's still time left to do it once everyone else has abandoned ship.

  • A formula one car/team cost about $200 million year to run. The Concordia cost about $500million. If a F1 driver said anything like this to explain why his F1 car was in the Monaco Bay I doubt it would be well received. Or the rapist who claimed "I don't know what happened, I was pushed and suddenly my penis was in her vagina" I swear. people are watching to much Tepco nuke explanations and USA politicians on TV.

  • I'm suprised he didnt go further and push the passengers out of the lifeboat to you know....leave no evidence of his cowardice.

  • brace urself 9-gag captains are comin !

  • guess it's that time of the month...

  • had a good laugh haha

    ... and RIP the passengers who were lost that day!

  • "I accidentally slipped into the lifeboat, coast guard." My bf says he usually slips into pussy too!

  • Comment removed

  • the captain wanted to go back into the boat, but he got a life boat at the knee!!

  • Women want men and women to be equal, they had a lot of protests that women should be equally treated like men so stfu, why should the women go first?

    EQUALTY

    9GAG.

  • @cridler2 you will never get laid.

  • @alerobles88 and you're an idiot. That's what equality is about, doesn't matter if men or women go first. Fuck if i was on that ship I would kill somebody just to save myself. Just as anybody would.

  • @DarknesSoldier whatever virgin

  • @DarknesSoldier And it's all to free ourselves from the oppression... I'm a feminist and I recognize I will never be as physically strong as men are. A-hole.

  • @DarknesSoldier And you should deal with the consequences

  • @cridler2 u must be gay if u hate women that much :D

  • @cridler2 oh and, before u type something like this next time, think about why women protested about it in the first place okay :D u might not understand but people who lives in Asia countries will understand it. they are treated like a garbage and sex dolls by men and Men didnt even allow their wives to work outside :D that's the biggest problem in Asia but maybe American took it wrong~ *shrugs* :)

  • @PrincessJuliette84 and what exacly is wrong with that?

  • @Stinoism u will understand when u have a daughter :D oh, or not, since maybe u will see ur daughter as sex outlet and garbage too :D

  • @PrincessJuliette84 my daughter? nah - every other woman? yes :D

  • who in the fuck thinks going on a cruise is the safest thing in the world. This isn't really uncommon. They're not remarkably dangerous but they go down with more regularity than planes.

  • what a coincidence

  • It's called Maritime law.. Not simply some outdated sailors tradition.

  • It's not that he's supposed to "go down with the ship"; it's that he's responsible for those people. My grandfather was a captain for 30 years, and from what I understand, it's like being the leader of a little society: you're responsible for the lives in your care, and as such you're expected to put the saftey of others first. What he did is akin to a general leaving his men, leaderless, on a battle feild to die. People's lives were in his hands and he was in a position of leadership.

  • @ShalomDove ...it was his job to make sure others got off safely, not to save himself first.

  • HE IS WITHOUT HONOR.

  • from viewing the pictures, it sank right next to the shore, like literally right next to it... couldn't everyone just swim 50 meters to the shore ? correct me if i'm totally wrong here

  • @ninearthify who said all can swim ??!!??

    plus many were trapped in the ship it truned over ..

    and what you are saying proves that the captain is a coward.. coz he CAN swim and it wasnt in the middle of the OCEAN ... he was not in Danger

  • not everyone is a brave and courageous hero you know, be it a captain of a ship or your average joe

  • @wakuwaku89 Then he should not have chosen a profession that requires you to be somewhat brave.

  • @h3wlett: Hey I didn't make up the rules. Take it up with whoever the fuck did.

  • @ImaWizard15: It's not "my" logic, you fucking dipshit. It's just a simple fact that the Captain, by international law, has to be the last person off the ship. This is to ensure that he can be onboard to coordinate the evacuation of passengers and crew. It's his responsibility. And yes, you incredibly retarded moron, if some of the passengers are still on board as the ship is sinking, the Captain must remain, even if it means his death.

  • @Celephaith I don't know much about maritine international law, but as per the reuters article "Cowardice at sea is no crime", your statement is not true. It says, "There is no basis in international law for the notion that the captain goes down with the ship, or that he is the last to leave the ship".

  • @Celephaith lol international law, who you gonna call the international police?

  • The ship is sinking everybody, everyone for themselves, single file, Go Go GO!

  • Huh,the 9gag army hasn't appeared yet...

  • Women and children first! That will keep the sharks busy for a while, after they've eaten we can swim to shore.

  • @dlucas90 no it's the Sales department, watch The Office at 10:30! HA.

  • @dlucas90 ha ha i see what you did there -.-

  • @dlucas90 LULZ!! hilarious in a twisted sort of way!

  • @dlucas90 lol  you are funny

  • That captian's story is about as believable as the US govt.'s conspiracy theory as to how 9/11 went down. I'm surprized the US govt. isn't claiming that the ship was sank by an Iranian terrorist that used a can opener to cut a hole in the bottom of the ship.

  • @dlucas90 make up your mind on what you want to talk about,your childish conspiracy theories or a a coward who abandoned a ship .

  • @dlucas90 wait wait, there is still time....

  • @dlucas90

    "That captian's story is about as believable as the US govt.'s conspiracy theory as to how 9/11 went down'

    Give it rest. You 9/11 conspiracy freaks are a broken record of paranoid speculation and illogical hypotheses. You're the epitome of why US science education sucks. Critical thinking ain't your strong point.

  • @dudev fuk you, we have been spilliin blood for ten + years over some bull shit so you can retire comfortably on so bogus stock portfolio that needs war snd cheap oil.

    The biggest fish is the pond is paranoiid.

    You shouldn't even menton "critical thinking", it's not taught in school for a reason.

  • @dlucas90 I didn't spelling wasn't taught in schools either.

  • Is the little captian oath worth risking your life? Let's get real here, it isn't. Sure most of us would stay for a little while and help, but once it gets to a certain point, you know you have to leave or you'll be in danger. Hell, if the boat was sinking fast enough, I'd get the fuck out of there on the first life boat. My existence is too vaulable to sacrifice for other people's existences. Neither empathy or peer pressure can overturn my survival instincts.

  • @Anthony1324576890 Then you should be willing to deal with the punishments, the ship was in no danger of sinking fully (Still has not and he would be fine sitting up there) and he has done many many other stupid things.

  • @Anthony1324576890

    "Neither empathy or peer pressure can overturn my survival instincts."

    Then you should be the last person to be given a position of responsibility. But good for you for admitting your cowardice. The captain is too weaselly to publicly admit to his.

  • he must've never watched titanic and what that captain did

  • @hongkongchico168 I think he did watch it and think oh crap, i ain't gonna die in this ship!

  • @EdgarD8387 oh wow you got me there! im so embarrased i like good jazz. dont tell anyone! lol what a tool. cenk is right u need to get laid lmao

  • why the fuck would he stay on it only a moron would stay

  • @dwpride

    A coward would leave all the passengers behind.

  • @dudev or a smart guy that is smart enough not to get himself killed

  • Any person in transportation knows the captain does everything to save the situation no matter what; even in the face of death.

  • That's what you get for hiring drunken sailors.

  • cenk zoning out at start of clip... lol

  • 9gag? LOL, You mean funnyjunk lite, which is -in turn- 4chan lite.

  • Brace yourself, 9gag army is coming...

  • Lol this confirms Italian national talent for diving/tripping :P

  • lulz, captain did the same as i would

  • @huskyclaw thats why he shouldnt have been captain in the first place, GOOD captains know and feel that they every1 on board is their responsability, thats why they are always the last to leave

  • @Thefox153 i guess i agree with you on that :P

    and thats also why i would NOT make a good captain XP

  • Comment removed

  • @randomuser942464 no, she was paid for her research and co-hosting on the show. these two are not mutually exclusive. Cenk does his own research too.

  • @EdgarD8387 ur just mad that cenk put you in your place the last time with a top comment that thousands saw, embarrasing you like the little loser you are! LOL

  • oh captain my captain...

  • Cenk was right on this one. Anna WTF? Seriously, maybe you should stick to the 'celeb stories', this one- way out of your depth. A captain is trained for these situations, when a ship is sinking he goes straight into emergency mode- he doesn't (well, not this coward) 'panic and freak out'. It would be like your on a plane, all of a sudden there's an engine failure, than another- then the pilot throws on a parachute and yells to the passengers, 'later bitches!!!'. He's the fucking captain!!

  • and 'on to other people'

  • The captain can leave a sinking ship if he's the last living person on board

  • "On to other people" ?! and not allowing

    Ms. Ana to finish her comment? It's not an easy thing being a captain is it? That is a real captain, one who looks deeply into his or her actions and abides to what is right. In this case apologizing to Ms Ana for having treated her so poorly is what is in place. This is not the first time she has been treated in this manner and since it has not been stopped and corrected it has escalated to treating her like a child by ignoring her opinion and 'On

  • "The first rule of captaining." Cenk is awesome!

  • The boat sunk because Mayhem recalculated his GPS.

  • Worse excuse since 'my dog ate my homework'

  • Congratulations Joseph Hazelwood!!! After nearly 23 years you are no longer considered the biggest asshole to the high seas.

  • @enticx actually she was hired to do research on the show and ended up being a co host later, but its irrelevant because its his show. She's paid to research stories and to read them online because Cenk doesnt have the time to do it all himself

  • I think Ana got pissed at Cenk

  • Rescuing Gilligan from the island was one thing but making him the Captain of a cruise ship was just foolish.

  • What a fucking douche.

  • The TYT members should run for congress

  • AHAHAHAHAHA tripped into the lifeboat, omg loooooooooooooooool what a fucking pussy.

  • god thanks for the other crew, mostly filipinos that don't bother to help passengers even their life is at risk too.

  • I was in this ship just two years ago. :O

  • The Captain really is stupid...the ship isn't sinking because its in shallow water and on rocks.

  • There was an article about all this in my local newspaper, and next to it was cruise adverts.

  • you can never defend the captain

    he gets payd well to do his job

    SO DO YOUR FUCKING JOB
