Until the investigation comes out give the Captain space. After the accident he was clearly in shock. People react differently under stress and shock . This needs to be remembered.
All accidents are a chain . The chain started from the earlier request to sail close to Giglio. Locking up the captain is not the right move. Reviewing the whole safety aspect of cruise ships is . Lifeboats are ineffective if the ship topples over. Lifejackets kept in passengers rooms. A proper safety brief before setting sail. Better crew resource management on emergencies like the airline industry have.
