Hes not only a coward, its his fault the ship sank in the first place. Look it up, he tried to do a near-shore manoeuvre to impress the islanders. The ship computer actually warned them not to do it but he claimed he was familiar with the local seabed. And then, of course, he hit a reef and flee before anyone else.

32 people died. They are trying to sentence him to 2697 years in prison (no really) and I sure hope he gets it, that piece of shit deserve it.

This is hilarious: the ship captain, which is near the boat, is asking his superior from miles away how many casualties there are.

DUUUUDE!! This is getting to be a bit......

If you subtract 333 from 999?? You also get 666!!

Hold on...... going to get my tin foil hat!!

Amazing! and year 333 BC Alexander the great conquers western Asia Minor, subduing the hill tribes of Lycia and Pisidia.

What's more, if you subtract 666 from 999, you'll get 333.

And if you transpose the digits 333??

You'll STILL get 333!!

Strangely coincidental??

this dialog is like being from a movie or something, so unreal yet it was more then real :(

It's a pity the death penalty doesn't still exist in Europe for cowards and liars like this so called captain. His irresponsible actions and the fact that he cowardly left the ship before hundreds of passengers is tantamount to murder and he should be condemned to death.

It happened on Friday the 13th, and it was 99 years and 9 months after Titanic sank

999 turn them and it will be 666.. it doesn´t mean much.. but still...

The crew did not have any training in evacuating a capsized ship and with no wise captain on board they had to figure it out themselves.

Nowadays to get a well paid job with a lot of leadership you have to have on your CV that you are an ashole.
