@tinoman2 no wonder the world thinks we're a bunch of arrogant pricks... people like you have to throw random stupid comments like this into footage of a disaster abroad. I'm a very patriotic and proud American with ancestor's settled here before we even were the ''usa'', but pride and arrogance are two different things. Stop giving us a bad name, you're just feeding into the stereotypical American image.

this was the equivalent of "barn storming', i think, the captain was trying to go close by land so the passengers would be impressed, and maybe people on land would be impressed at seeing the ship so close, but he made a mistake that will end his life as he knew it.

Capitain was Berlusconi and ship was Italy
