It seems it will be difficult to remove these bodies but I hope they find a way to do so before a lot more time passes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeBeach Posted March 22, 2012 #634 Share Posted March 22, 2012 You don't want to know what sort of condition they're in... :eek:. No I don't. I do want the families to have closure tho so I know whatever condition they are in, they need to be recovered. Once they find the last 2, even if they all can't be id'd, the families will know their loved ones are at least out from under or in that ship.

Just hope the last two people can be found so that all families can have some closure - at least for this stage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Grumpus Posted March 23, 2012 #636 Share Posted March 23, 2012 @ sidari Marinetraffic is missing position updates for more than 30 minutes?! Check the link below, this track is based on recorded AIS data by AISLIVE: http://www.qps.nl/display/qastor/2012/01/17/20120117_stranding The reporting interval for ship based AIS transponders is speed/course related and is as follows: 0-14 knots 10 seconds 0-14 knots and changing course 3.3 seconds 14-23 knots 6 seconds 14-23 knots and changing course 2 seconds Wow, first time I've looked at these. Even the track from last August 14th. would be way too close for my comfort. It's amazing any Captain, especially one with the responsibility he had, would ever attempt to get that close to shore just to say 'watch this'. Doesn't seem he left any room for error and other people paid with their lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem he left any room for error and other people paid with their lives. My thoughts exactly. "Watch this" for the benefit of 2 or 3 people with a price tag of the lives of 30 and potentially the lives of over 4,000 people, his career, the careers of several officers and half a billion dollar ship. Not to mention losses to the entire cruise industry due to decreased bookings, etc. etc. Schettino's descent into lunacy boggles the mind! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping that the use of flame throwers by those of differing opinions has been squelched by the closing and erasing of previous threads on this topic, I will restate my original opinion based upon my background and experience in proving "motive". I am led to the opinion that Capt. Schitinno was motivated to ignore the safety of the ship, crew, and passengers, in an attempt to impress his fellow officers and his twenty something "inamorta" with his manly machismo or was so distracted by her that he lost his focus. I don't believe this to a be fact proven to a moral certainty but based upon my background I know I could convince a jury, beyond a reasonalbe doubt, that those were motives.

Would love to have been a fly on the wall of the bridgeto see the look of shock and horror on all their faces as they felt the Bump! up front... and realized that something horribly wrong had just happened three seconds ago! .

Rochesterboatingdotcom Posted March 24, 2012 #641 Share Posted March 24, 2012 As I suspected - just found this in an article about Concordia: "Because of the heft of the Costa Concordia’s bell, police suspect a team of thieves, likely divers authorized to work on the liner." Wonder how much more loot has been pilfered by "authorized divers"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2 vessel wrecks I have been involved with were marchant vessels, no passingers....but all the crew members valuables and anything recoverable were shipped home to them. I would image the same would be for the passingers. AKK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
