Costa Concordia accident: Aerial video of dramatic rescue operation

A cruise ship with over 4-thousand people on board has grounded off Italy's north-west coast. At least 3 bodies have been recovered, with more than a dozen others still missing. Most of those on board the Costa Concordia were evacuated from the vessel after it hit a reef near the Island of Giglio, late on Friday. Passengers reported a loud bang during dinner, and were told the ship had stopped because of electrical problems.

Go drown yourself, Captain Asshole

I can't believe the number of idiots defending the Captain. It is not about "Bravery" it's about DUTY, IT'S HIS FUCKING JOB to ensure the safe evacuation of everyone onboard. It is part of his Job Description, which is why he is paid Euros 5k per month. It is also Maritime Law for him to provide assistance to people in need at sea, which is why he is facing criminal charges for not having done that.

@LoyalBrit 5k euros/month is alot??? For a captain of a ship worth 500 million euros?? For that pay i would have been the first to jump off also. 90% of the people on that ship made more than he did in their jobs...it is his duty but do not advertise his salary as being high. It is a joke to be honest.

@Skudgeboy sorry. ive just seen too many people on internet that blames all the shit on one person. even if that person is innocent. so i figured out that those people must be some random trolls who's bored.

[MontyLoo1]

@RomaMUAITHAI has it ever occurred to you that some people have been saving most of their lives for a cruise like that? Not that it should matter, they are still human, unlike yourself. Selfish scum.
