Remoinds me of the Brother Dave Gardner joke: “I was just standing on the corner trimming my fingernails and this dude came running around the corner and ran smack into my knife. 17 times!”

Because! Because, as the leader...if I die...then all hope is lost! Who would lead? The clown? Instead of castigating me, you should all be thanking me. What kind of a topsy-turvy world do we live in, where heroes are cast as villains? Brave men as cowards?

This court martial is taking forever. Shouldn’t he be swinging from the yardarm by now?

He also claimed before this that he saved thousands by taking the ship so close to shore. He's still thinking in lira? If it's in Euro or dollars, he only has to do it maybe half a million times and the cost of the accident would be covered.

This guy is a completely despicable tool. Several passengers saw him huddled in a life boat wrapped in a blanket. If he “accidentally” tripped then why didn’t he go back on the ship?
For that matter, why didn’t he go back on the ship when the Coast Guard ORDERED him back on the ship?
I was a yacht captain and while I never sank a boat I dam sure wouldn’t have abandoned a sinking one until I was SURE all passengers and crew were off and safe.

The Captain was just in a hurry to see his wife, Morgan Fairchild.

Soon after this, witnesses saw him leaving the scene in a taxi - while his passengers were either still on the ship, in the water or stranded ashore injured or minimally cold, wet & in shock.
I guess, after tripping off the ship into the life boat, he bounced into the taxi. Wow... talk about a "hard fall."

The Captain is obviously a cousin of Baghdad Bob.

The biggest failure of Costa/Carnival is obviously in personnel. How did this clown ever get the responsibility he had?
To: Upstate NY Guy
Why the fuss? The captain was clearly Leading from Behind. It works for Obama, right?

Well he had been drinking quite a bit trying to pick up a passenger.
To: Tijeras_Slim
And every time he swam back out to the ship, evil penguins forced him back to shore.
Darn those penguins! Darn them to heck!.

Had he been on his proper course the ship wouldn’t have struck the reef to begin with.
As for tripping into the life boat I always believed the Captain ran the ship from the bridge, not by helping load life boats.

Vada is go (third person, or formal, if you do not know the person), but then he personalizes it with cazzo, which means, d!-k. So I guess he wasn’t being too formal after all! LOL!
So, Vada a bordo, cazzo! Is: “Go on board, D—k!”
