  • A rule of the sea is the captain is the LAST person off, NOT ONE OF THE FIRST!!! I heard he got off before the rats! :p

  • this man is italian he is not english leave him alone

  • Why are people saying it was like the sinking of the Titanic. Where the Titanic went down you couldn't swim to shore. And I don't think the waters of Tuscany are below freezing.

  • @ThePayola123 most were not from italy, at least check the facts you lazy cum guzzling troll :)

  • Did you guys not hear Captain Genius? He TRIPPED and fell into the life boat!

  • @dookdawg214 But the guy on the shore wasn't a hero, just trying to do his job.

  • @dookdawg214 Even so, no other captain would leave their ship, especially if it's their fault they crashed.

  • @PrimeConsciousness

    I thought the same thing. It's easy to sit behind a telephone, dry and warm, while you scream at some other poor sucker to get back on a sinking ship. There's nothing even remotely heroic about that.

  • Once he had abandoned his ship, he probably couldn't get

    back on. He shouldn't have gotten off in the first place, and

    to steer his ship so close to the island was inexcusable! Had

    he ordered the evacuation earlier and radioed for help, so

    many more lives could have been saved!

  • They should strap him to a wooden pole off a beach near the accident, facing the very spot where the ship sunk, and his victims died. Then let the tide come in and take him, just like what they used to do to people in ancient times.
