leafer Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 And here's the transcript of the conversation with the coast guard ordering him to reboard the grounded ship. You could tell he was trying to get on the officer's good side at the beginning. Coast Guard: Hello. Captain: Good evening, chief. Coast Guard: Listen, this is De Falco from Livorno. Am I speaking with the captain? Captain: Good evening, Chief De Falco. Coast Guard: Tell me your name, please. Captain: I am Captain Schettino, chief. Coast Guard: Schettino? Captain: Yes. Coast Guard: Listen, Schettino. There are people trapped on board. Now, you go with your lifeboat. Under the bow of the ship, on the right side, there is a ladder. You climb on that ladder and go on board the ship. Go on board the ship and get back to me and tell me how many people are there. Is that clear. I am recording this conversation, Captain Schettino. (Captain tries to speak but Coast Guard can't hear him clearly. Voices in the Coast Guard room.) Coast Guard: Speak up! (captain tries to speak) Captain, put your hand over the microphone and speak in a louder voice! Captain: At this moment the ship is listing. Coast Guard: There are people who are coming down the ladder on the bow. Go back in the opposite direction, get back on the ship, and tell me how many people there are and what they have on board. Tell me if there are children, women and what type of help they need. And you tell me the number of each of these categories. Is that clear? Listen Schettino, perhaps you have saved yourself from the sea but I will make you look very bad. I will make you pay for this. Dammit, go back on board! (Noise can be heard in the background. Apparently other Coast Guard officers are shouting to each other in the same room about "the ship, the ship") Captain: Please ... Coast Guard: There is no 'please' about it. Get back on board. Assure me you are going back on board! Captain: I'm in a lifeboat, I am under here. I am not going anywhere. I am here. Coast Guard: What are you doing, captain? Captain: I am here to coordinate the rescue... Coast Guard (interrupting): What are you coordinating there! Get on board! Coordinate the rescue from on board! Are you refusing? Captain: No, I am not refusing. Coast Guard: Are you refusing to go aboard, captain? Tell me the reason why you are not going back on board. Captain: (inaudible)... there is a another lifeboat... Coast Guard (interrupting, yelling): You get back on board! That is an order! There is nothing else for you to consider. You have sounded the "Abandon Ship." Now I am giving the orders. Get back on board. Is that clear? Don't you hear me? Captain: I am going aboard. Coast Guard: Go! Call me immediately when you are on board. My rescue people are in front of the bow. Captain: Where is your rescue craft? Coast Guard: My rescue craft is at the bow. Go! There are already bodies, Schettino. Go! Captain: How many bodies are there? Coast Guard: I don't know! ... Christ, you should be the one telling me that! Captain: Do you realize that it is dark and we can't see anything? Coast Guard: So, what do you want to do, to go home, Schettino?! It's dark and you want to go home? Go to the bow of the ship where the ladder is and tell me what needs to be done, how many people there are, and what they need! Now! Captain: My second in command is here with me. Coast Guard: Then both of you go! Both of you! What is the name of your second in command? Captain: His name is Dmitri (static)" Coast Guard: What is the rest of his name? (static) You and your second in command get on board now! Is that clear? Captain: Look, chief, I want to go aboard but the other lifeboat here has stopped and is drifting. I have called ... Coast Guard (interrupting): You have been telling me this for an hour! Now, go aboard! Get on board, and tell me immediately how many people there are! Captain: OK, chief. Coast Guard: Go! Immediately! ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
Depth Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 And here's the transcript of the conversation with the coast guard ordering him to reboard the grounded ship. You could tell he was trying to get on the officer's good side at the beginning. Tragic. Schettino has had so many years of everything running smoothly that he buckles in an emergency. Seemed fairly shocked from the transcript and I'm hearing he's being charged with manslaughter I work in the north sea on a hook-up project (installing new oilrig) and have accepted to be a coxswain on the free-fall lifeboats. Capacity is 67 per boat including me and 2 other crews. I was nervous (and nobody is ever truly ready for the real thing) during the first few simulations we have but I can never imagine suddenly having a cruiseships worth of passengers to save. Simulations with this scale with actual people is unfortunately near impossible and you can't really blame the captain for being human. Nobody can say how they will react in an emergency situation and my heart goes out to those lost in this tragedy [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
leafer Posted January 17, 2012 Posted January 17, 2012 He said they were the last people out of the boat on camera, and you could tell he was lying from his facial expression. I can understand no one is ready for this, but what one does in a situation like this really shows the character. It's not like the ship would completely go under. ED have been taking my money since 1995. :P
july865 Posted January 20, 2012 Posted January 20, 2012 there was a radio interview i had heard today. it said that almost an hour after the boat hit the reef, the captain had ordered dinner for himself and his date. the chef had said, "but why captain"? . his new rank is now "chicken of the sea" Asus x99, i7 5930k, 32g mem, MSI 1070GTX, 970 Samsung M.2, LG 35in Ultra-Wide, TrackIR 4 Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Namenlos Ein Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 http://www.freesun.be/freesun_news/23_june_2006/costagodmother.html Genoa – June 21, 2006 – Supermodel Eva Herzigova will be the godmother of the Costa Concordia, the new flagship of the Costa fleet, which will be christened on July 7 in the Port of Rome (Civitavecchia) under the patronage of the Latium Regional Administration, the Provincial Administration of Rome, the Municipality of Rome and AltaRoma. The personification of beauty, charm and elegance, Eva Herzigova will be the star of the event when it reaches its climax: it will be her task to actually christen the Costa Concordia by breaking a bottle of champagne against the side of the ship in accordance with strict naval tradition. […] But she failed.
