Thread: The other side to the crew of Costa Concordia

Italy disaster ship crew fought to save passengers | Reuters

Kudos to the engineering team and all others that participated fully in their duty. It's a great article that really captures the sense of responsibility that crew have to the passengers and how they fulfilled their tasks brilliantly to do the best they could given the situation. An engine room full of water in 15 minutes and you're still there trying to see if it can be resolved....

Great post, Hope! Thanks for giving us this perspective.

I need to read more reports like this! Thank You, I know they are out there.

Thanks for posting this

It is good to see that someone is telling the story of the majority of the crew that did their jobs. It will probably be months before the whole story come out and when it does most of the crew and those officers that did their jobs should be recognized for the work they did to save lives.

Thanks for sharing this article which reassures us that unlike the captain, the crew was still worked very hard with saving most of the passengers.

And don't forget the townspeople who also assisted!
