if unifying the news you know that's
being cruise ship off the coast of italy
capsized over the weekend as a result
eleven people have been killed and up
nearly two dozen people are missing a
it's a very serious story and of course
the captain of the ship
is being questioned
now if you received a lot of criticism
after he added
basically got himself into a lifeboat
and uh... it evacuated the ship before
everyone else so artist he was
questioned about that and he had a very
interesting answer to it he said
i have no intention of escaping i was
hoping some passengers put the lifeboat
to see
at a certain point the mechanism for
lowering it plugged
we have to force it
suddenly the system unlocked itself an
attempt and found myself inside the
lifeboat
with a number of passengers
and then he claimed that he couldn't
there was no way in getting back on the
ship to help the pack other passengers
inoculate the book
that was the least believable story i
have ever
i guess i just have a lot like for a lot
of personal is our as this ship was
sinking
you know i'm so says what was the coast
guard yelling at him saying that
that the backup or restore d officer was
yelling at him
basically telling him
depicted backup fucking shit
how what a captain man on bull
removal
billy wright adhere relieves says
you know one of those late but
i accidentally what about other will
cover the coverage at the very did not
know what you think you should
number two you accidentally wind up on a
lifeboat and take it back on this trip
even bad stories true shows you you the
world's worst captive
this is the restoring the about because
it you think like going out for is the
first thing on the planet
and all this i mean you see this massive
ship capsized it's incredible idea of
what i've read the story over the
weekend
i was like no this is a like a movie
theater something there's no weight is
actually happened added actually
habitats and amazing
it any what we're chances with a very
large ship that uh... people would that
nobody can say
actually maybe he'd like
i don't know and i start for example an
insect i'd never heard of that before in
my entire life
okay that was like a century ago so
there's a combat okay okay
so i i i hear here by the way they're so
it'll be will be out of this
buildings are always come with this
commandment there's no external support
but
the capitol dome of the ship
comfort food
we've got to get out i was heard that i
would like to do the verse it without
phnom penh's with with with the hell out
here
form disinvited all school barbara since
they have a million men in a more about
eleven but maybe this
so there's a lot
you definitely supposed to stay with the
shared view the capitalism dot you're
the one responsible for capsize in the
senate it's like the first rule in
captivity
the day communities so they like you to
stay on that happened to your honor's
you know that the problem is that it's
kind of a metaphor for
our current society which is
to add the guys who know the ship is
sinking weather for socially
whether it's a financial industry
whatever else that might be that tapas
that we meet
i realize it was safe usa llc obvi say
that offers
good where is the question
i think this is another mindset that we
have in this country town that we
definitely i'd fallen is now you're
saying and at lucky definitely should
stay on the ship and help people
evacuated soon as possible
without being said i was so see which a
lot of saint because it's tough to judge
it man
when you get when you're not in that
situation on and i look at it at all
leta hai sadhu bear without a single
here
nine out of the website is saying is
like the fire in that moment
i would freak out i wouldn't know what
to do and i would probably try to escape
the trip uh... the ship to that being
said i'm not sure nothing capital camera
finish my freakin thought so i can save
here are the definition
so it's different
anyway now i'd rather people
him the only person and those are
delivering missus that that starts off
irresponsible
there's one personal time anything on
this trip
therefore while one done and sent back a
lot of people on it but he should be
coordinating their efforts the rescue
effort to set up
he should be like i guess somebody else
on the ship of some of us a leak
obviously i don't think the slightest
partnership
so i'll see if that is where them
