Yep.

In other breaking news:....

The captain of the Costa Concordia has been summoned by Eurozone leaders to explain how best to cope with a sinking ship.

I thought a ship that size had a whole crew responsible for navigation. The captain is really expected to not eat or sleep or shit for the 7 day cruise?

.....obviously a Mossad/CIA false flag. Cruise ships just don't hit rocks and sink."

Just saw this thread and then check on the BBC new website, I couldn't see anything about him being arrested, just that he has been called to a tribunal, with the ship's owners saying he may have 'commited errors'.

This seems more than likely, as I don't see how a ship that makes such regular voyages could vear so far off-course in calm weather.

The captain isn't even on the bridge a good chunk of the time, but ultimately he's responsible for whatever happens.

The only thing missing from this cruise ship is the cast of Jersey Shore.
