Re: Can you believe it!
When Schetino fell overboard and landed in a Lifeboat, was the Lifeboat the enclosed one or was it an open boat as we had 60 years ago.?
If it was an enclosed life boat he must have gone through the Roof of it.
That must have ben not a little painful.

We should try and find out the publisher who is paying this excuse for a man to produce this crap. Then put an embargo on buying any of their books.

Re: Can you believe it!
Can quite believe it John, have seen someone write a book in the middle of a disaster, how do I know because he told me so and anyone else he could get the ear of, at least Schettino will be writing a book after an Enquiry, this one did it and was published before the end of the Enquiry. I certainly hope it didn't have any affect on the judges if they read during the proceedings. Schettino will not clear his name, but no doubt it will keep his name in the peoples minds and provide an income for him, if any film producer buys the script he will have all his home comforts in prison and when he comes out. We have a law out here which states one cant profit from ones crimes. Wonder how the law stands in his case. JS
