Interesting Story about The Captain of the "Concordia"

[DebbieandJerry]

Very tragic

Very unnecessary accident.

Lots of prayers to all who have been touched by this event

I hope that when the rescue operation is over, the investigation completed, judicial actions carried out, that the long term benefit will be improvement in the way that ships captains are chosen, evaluated, and re-evaluated to ensure a continued focus on passenger safety. I don't know what Costa (or any other cruiseline) has in place to select their captains, but clearly this guy was not fit for command. The recent release of communications between Captain Schettino and the Coast Guard are especially troubling.

Kevin..I agree.
