CRUISE SHIP DISASTER:
'Significant human error' by captain may have been to blame for sinking, ship's owner says
The company operating a cruise ship than capsized after hitting rocks off western Italy on Friday says the captain may have "committed errors".
He appears to have sailed too close to land and not to have followed the company's emergency procedures, Costa Crociere said in a statement.
Capt Francesco Schettino is suspected of manslaughter, but denies wrongdoing.
At least five people have died but about 15 remain unaccounted for. Divers are trying to find more survivors.
"It seems that the commander made errors of judgement that had serious consequences," Costa Crociere said.

The end result of the moron Captain, and his second in command, which nobody mentions, will be he will only get a slap on the wrist. That is how Italy's "Justice" system works.

In the good old days those so called nautical captains were attached to a big heavy metal ball with a chain and thrown into the deepest sea.
