When I first saw the pix I wondered if he was doing what you think he is doing but nobody else commented so I thought I was wrong to think what I was thinking. :p ;)

Had to read that slow. In the end I was thinking the same

Ken,

A lot of work still to be done before any movement can commence

I agree there's much to be done, but I like the new diagram as it provides even more detail on the sponsons and underwater platforms.

Im glad they are well aware of the dangers of it slipping off the ledge its sitting on. It didnt look very stable for a time during the rough seas.

They obviously dont have the usual attitude, 'if it sinks it sinks'

Maybe hes not going to get away with it

[SomeBeach]

The prosecutor feels he has enough evidence to take Schettino to trial for manslaughter.

The prosecutor must feel he has enough evidence to take it to trial.

I've been saying this would probably be the way it would go from the very beginning (on the now Closed Thread). But, the naysayers and Captain Coward groupies didn't believe it. ;)

While I have never believed Schettino purposely set out to cause a terrible accident, I have always believed that the accident was due to his lack of attention, "human error."

Then his actions after the fact just made me believe he was trying to cover his backside. That to me was not "human error" but lack of concern for not only his passengers but his crew.

I've said this before, he needs to man up and accept his part in this accident.

Just throwing in this link as it applies to cruise ships and we've discussed it on here.

While Schettino may well be taken to a trial it will be interesting to see if an Italian jury will actually convict him! time will tell.

I would like to think so, and hope he does

Uni ... I see that there are still cabins available on the NCL Star TA from NOLA to CPN, looking at booking it then maybe you could show me how to tie a few of those knots ? :)

Sounds like a great plan. We could teach as NCLuniversity lecturers. I'd teach Americna wild west noose tieing and you could do Tower of London drawing and quatering. LOL

Or maybe Bacon Roll you to a ladder ready for a Heli lift ... :eek:
