| What, me worry?! Captain Schettino pulls an all-nighter to show his solidarity with the victims who senselessly died the night he was - literally - at the helm |
As the Concordia was pulled into the Genovese harbour, its former Captain was caught living it up an a White Party on the island of Ischia. Obviously, his supposed tethers for In House arrest can cross bodies of water, just like the ones that hoisted the Concordia up the coast.
For my satirical view of the events...please check out my post on Irreverent Italy.
The boat is docked right at the edge of - repeat after me: Genova. NOT Genoa where it will be broken down at the very place it was first made. And, while you're at it...Torino not Turin and Firenze not Florence and Venezia not Venice...!
A few sad stats about Schettino's horrible act of bravado to impress his on-board - and illegal - squeeze who escaped the tragedy by taxi (!) which is why our Captain Coward found himself abandoning his ship to begin with.
32 deaths
110 injured
damages affecting the 4197 passengers who survived
1.5 billion euro (over $2 billion) spent on salvage operation
12 million euro in damage to the island of Giglio
not counting the loss of sea life
But on the bright side...The salvage operation created
921 days of 24/7 work for hundreds of engineers, divers, workers and sea men

Even more incredibly...Schettino has now been asked to teach at a University. 32 persons died at his hands - the rest of us would be rotting behind bars for far less.
