    Nothing against you personally Baz just using the quote from your post to highlight a point mate.

    Just did the very same search as I did before, now get 11 pages!:confused:

    Reckon it must get confused crossing the Tamar coming into Cornwall, I believe the Cornish call it ‘dreckly’ (although Pagen will have a different spelling to it:diablo:)

    Repcobrab, in future can you make use of the search function as this topic has been discussed at length in the past

    The search function has not worked properly for at least 18 months, other moderators seem to be aware of this.

    I just put a Lightning search on ‘thread ‘ mode and it was cr@p, only 2 hits.

    Which is why ‘Help for Heroes’ is my favoured charity.

    Wearing your wrist band says that you remember these very brave people.

    There are a lot of aviation experts on this forum, therefore, when there is an accident involving an aeroplane, the problem will be the press, members of the public, the CAA, AAIB, etc all hanging on the forums every word.(according to some)
    However, this thread is about a boat that crashed into a rock, driven by an Italian (badly) which resulted in the deaths of 30+ people. I really doubt media, next of kin, anybody curious will be the slightest bit interested in the ramblings of a bunch of old anoraks on here, speculating (or not) on a subject better covered on more nautical forums. (except fv24!)

    TBH there isn’t much speculation on here that cannot be found in the media in the first place.

    I agree with Kev here, he is accountable for the sinking of his vessel.

    For someone who fell into a lifeboat, its remarkable he suffered no injuries.

    They set sail without instructing the passengers where to muster in the event of an emergency…..they were due to do this the following day.

    According to 2 i/c, he was on the bridge at the time of the accident.

    He deviates from the prescibed course. (without authority)

    He hits a rock.

    He abandons ship early.

    He kills 30+ people.

    He’s an a@se.

    That is an amazing transcript, which does not put the captain in a very good light.:eek:
