I saw the route maps...He had the rip in the hull MILES before he hit the beach. Had he gone out to sea rather thn becah it, no doubt many more would have been lost and the thing would have quickly sunk.

The Titanic had 2200 passengers. 1500 died and it was upright.

Please take a look at the pictures.

This is a lost cause even more amusing than what one hears from Lost Causers...

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.

Reality Check: Yes, let's look at the photo. I've circled a gigantic boulder sticking out of the Concordia's hull.

The big boulder sticking out of the hull is the exact same size as the long tear in the hull. Are you implying the ship ripped the boulder from the sea floor and dragged it along for MILES? Could it be that the ship came to rest on a distant, different, yet exactly identical size boulder that caused a prior tear in the hull MILES away? To believe either of these scenarios requires the willful suspension of disbelief.
