This frickhead, Schettino, incredible.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2012/01/18/francesco-schettino-the-costa-concordia-s-daredevil-captain.html

After several emergency calls by passengers, Giorgio De Falco who was heading up the emergency services of the Port Authority in Livorno, reached out to the Concordia. “Everything OK?” he asked. Schettino lied and said yes, that they’d had an electrical problem but that they had solved it. Had Schettino told the truth at that moment, when he surely knew the impact had done damage to the ship, an evacuation could have begun before the ship started listing, and all the passengers might have been saved.

Let him burn, I say.
 
Coast Guard: We're giving you an order! Get back on the mother****ing boat!

Captain: Wha, what?

Coast Guard: Say what again! Say what again! I double dog dare you, I triple dog dare you mother****er! There are still people on the mother****ing boat! Get your ass back there!
 
Surprised that this incident hasn't shown up on sj until now.

The NY Post headline captures it best

Cowardice of the first degree

Schettino is back on the Sorrento coast, waiting to hear whether he will have to return to jail to wait out the criminal investigation that may hold him accountable for his actions. He faces pending charges for multiple counts of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck, and abandoning ship.
