In other breaking news:.... The captain of the Costa Concordia has been summoned by Eurozone leaders to explain how best to cope with a sinking ship.
I thought a ship that size had a whole crew responsible for navigation. The captain is really expected to not eat or sleep or shit for the 7 day cruise?
Just saw this thread and then check on the BBC new website, I couldn't see anything about him being arrested, just that he has been called to a tribunal, with the ship's owners saying he may have 'commited errors'. Here is the link: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-16570281 This seems more than likely, as I don't see how a ship that makes such regular voyages could vear so far off-course in calm weather.
The captain isn't even on the bridge a good chunk of the time, but ultimately he's responsible for whatever happens.
