What a jerk!

SAFAGA, Egypt - Survivors of the Red Sea ferry disaster said on Saturday the Egyptian captain had fled his burning ship by lifeboat and abandoned them to their fate, as hopes faded of finding some 800 missing people. Some passengers, plucked alive from the sea or from boats after the ferry caught fire and sank early on Friday, said crew members had told them not to worry about the blaze below deck and even ordered them to take off lifejackets.

I assume he didn't watch the movie "Titanic"
The captain stayed till the end.

I disagree he probably saw that movie and was like "Fuck that shit I'm gone"

Same thing happened in like '91? '92?.. anyway.
Greek owned cruise ship went down off the coast of South Africa.
Captain evacuated himself and most of the crew. Left the passengers to fend for themselves.

When push comes to shove, I am saving my ass first, passengers second. I would not risk my life for people who are too stupid to realize that fire+boat= jump into the WATER. Obviously, some situations, like this, become readily apparent that they won't "blow over" and at that point you have to be proactive in getting the fuck out. And that's what the captain did. *cue in Destiny's Child's Survivor*

Such a sad situation. You hate to see people die like that. Fuck, I cannot imagine. I'd jump and dog paddle my ass off so as not to get sucked down when the ship finally went under.


Jesus Christ I laughed my ass off when I read Trainwreck's post.....:lmao
