Let's ignore all the ferries that sink in Indonesia and such every year, killing hundreds at a time. Tourists were inconvenienced! It's like the Titanic!

In the recording, the port official can be heard urgently commanding the captain to return to the cruise ship after he had abandoned it.
"There are people trapped on the boat," the official says. "Now you take your dinghy and go back to the ship."
The captain replies, "Listen, commander, let me tell you one thing ... The ship is on its side."
As the port official loses patience with the captain, he says, "Listen Schettino, you may have been saved by the sea but I can assure you I can make you go through a lot of trouble. Get on board now."
The captain continues to give excuses for why he cannot return to the boat, saying that it is dark, that he is coordinating the rescue effort and that another dinghy that would transport him to the ship is stalled. He finally relents and tells the port official, "I'm going instantly."- fucking COWARD!panacea

Schettino is accused of having sailed too close to the shore in an attempt to “salute” the island’s inhabitants.
“It was bravado, Schettino was showing off, clowning around, it was incredibly stupid. I would sentence him not once but 10 times,” said another former captain who worked with the ship’s owner, Costa Crociere.
