"I had to laugh when the news reader said that the captain has maintained that he slipped and fell into a life boat... Just keep thinking surely he could have come up with a better excuse than that one..." I know I am just wondering who whispered in his ear say that they will believe you... | |||

"from the BBC ..... On Tuesday, Capt Schettino's lawyer said his client had told the judge that lives had been saved thanks to the manoeuvre he made after the ship hit rocks. FFS" The hurdle slip into the lifeboat must have been some manoeuvre... I was wondering before though, although his jumping ship (literally) is morally unpalatable, is there some maritime law about the Captain leaving the ship? | |||

"Both the captain and his immediate sub ordinate should be hung - they ran off and left people to die - shocking and very sad for those who lost their lives. Z" Yes I agree morally very wrong, but I was wondering what the legal position is. If the crash is investigated and found to be a genunine accident, would he be charged with anything relating to leaving people who subsequently lost their lives? | |||

"Just found this on a bbc website where the question was asked about Captains leaving sinking ships....... A captain may be charged with a breach of duty of care, depending on the law in the country where the accident happened An international convention of which Italy is a signatory says captains bear responsibility for the vessel's safety In international customary law, captains must follow principles of prudent seamanship - which means taking responsibility for the safety of crew and passengers There is a strong expectation among seamen that the captain will not leave until passengers have been safely evacuated" Thanks for that HPC, exactly what I was wondering... | |||
