Cruise Ship Captain Gives His Reasoning For Leaving Wrecked Ship
Captain Francesco Schettino, who is being investigated for charges including manslaughter after the Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Italy on Friday, has offered a rather unconvincing explanation of just how he allegedly ended up leaving his ship: “Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60-70° angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats,” Schettino said, “That’s how I found myself in the lifeboat.”
