Not sure why he insulted you but I agree all unsults need to be public so we can all enjoy a good internet fight.

If you guys cant see this on your two inch screens send me your address and I'll mail you a hard copy.

I guess he apparently overrode the computer system so he could sail closer to some island or something like that. Either way, yeah he's screwed

[MTK]

Just an unbelievable story all around.

What a pathetic display by this so called captain.

Forgive me if this is an offensive term, but that guy is a giant pu**y. Are you kidding? That transcript... I mean, I don't even know what to say.

I just do not get how these things happen. I have decent electronics on my boat and if I was crusing something that big I'd have three warnings that would go off. The first is on the radar where I can set an alarm to go off if anything gets within a set distance. The the depth finder has a warning alarm if I'm heading into water of a certain depth which I can choose when the alarm goes off. Then your GPS chart plotter gives your location, locaction of land, and it gives depths and warnings about hazards in and around you. If you have ever watched the show Whale Wars remember the alarms going off as they get closer to the other ships. Thats what these captains would hear. You cannot ignor them. Well, maybe you can.LOL

It's disgraceful. I mean I get that he was probably terrified and realized that getting back on board that ship probably means he's likely walking into death...but that's unfortunately the risk and responsibility you take as captain of a ship...and the risk you take when you don't follow the proper route

He knows the ship. He knows the protocols for this situation. He has the ability to get back on the boat and help save these people- women and children included... And he just sits on his hands and watches the mayhem that ensues from a disaster that he's responsible for. What a POS.
