Ken711 Posted February 25, 2013 #3636 Share Posted February 25, 2013 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' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SomeBeach Posted February 25, 2013 #3643 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) 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. http://www.thedailybeast.com/newsweek/2013/02/25/triumph-passenger-s-carnival-cruise-from-hell.html Edited February 25, 2013 by SomeBeach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidari Posted February 25, 2013 #3644 Share Posted February 25, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
