Thread: Costa Concordia

Latest Reports that I'm trying to find a good source for is :

Sensors on the 114,500-ton Costa Concordia has given the local authorities information that the ship is starting to slip off the rocks, suspending the search and rescue mission. The divers can not enter the ship with fears of it shifting more and trapping divers. Blasting more holes in the hull to look for the missing was scheduled for today but has been temp delayed.

I believe this could be true. That he was in shock and fear over what he had done by hitting the rock, by realizing from the conditions of the ship and the need to beach it that he ruined the ship. I think he ran, that it was fight or flight. I don't think he realized what he had done to the passengers. I think he was scared out of his mind by the magnitude of what he had done to the ship.

Check out this news report about the captain:

Wish the Costa Concordia can come back

No days without thinking for the ship. I can't to do more than wish and believe she no lost for forever.

Distressing is hear/read news about salvor blow new holes in ship. This make more damage for wrecked ship. The Costa concordia already so injured. Wish I can go there and stop them!
I am alone with my worry help the ship out it make sad...

I clicked on this thread after reading cocaine was found on a hair sample, but its location makes survivor and defendant lawyers in the case disagree. Here is the link to the HuffingtonPost story:
