Costa Concordia Bridge
Italian Channel TV5 have obtained dramatic new footage of the bridge during the Concordia Disaster.
The 8 minute video shows the crew urging the Captain Francesco Schettino to abandon ship but the Captain, on the phone for much of the footage, ignores them and seems to be pre-occupied with minor issues.
One of the crew tells him “Captain, the passengers are starting to get into the lifeboats on their own”, Schettino doesn’t seem bothered replying “Whatever .. Whatever…OK”.
The chief investigator Francesco Verusio was unaware that the footage existed. He said “None of the officers mentioned it. I have asked for it and it will form part of the inquiry.”
