by | 26th, January 2012

COSTA Concordia – new photos have emerged of the ship being evacuated. We already know why the Costa Concordia ran aground off the island of Giglio a (see all reasons here). We know that Captain Francesco Schettino fell into a lifeboat. We know that Captain Francesco Schettino is a hero.

We know that his wife, Fabiola Russo, says her husband is hero. We know of a blonde. We do not know who ordered the Costa Concordia to be run aground in shallow water and not flounder in deep water. We know that crew ordered passengers back to their cabins. Also know that the deaths of at least 16 people on holiday is to a large section of the media like a film

Such are the facts.
