The guy who completely lost his temper with Captain Scetthino deserves a medal.. what a coward.. a captain never abandons his ship and passengers

"You may have saved yourself from the sea, but I take very dim view of this. I will make you pay for this". Damn, that man ain't playing.

Very nice of the woman taking strangers from the boat into her home to provide them food, and a safe haven. God bless her indeed.

The whole ship was tilting, but yes, it was an "electrical problem".

The thing that really gets me is those words "Please return to your cabin".... (and wait for us to get you out of this....) This is horrifying because it is EXACTLY what hundreds of kids on the Korean ferry Sewol were told to do, they were very inclined to obey the authority of their teachers and the like, and it proved a death sentence for almost all of them. For that matter, many office workers in the then undamaged World Trade Center Tower #2 were told the same thing.... "go back to your offices" (so you are not "in the way" of rescue authority). Some who made it to the very ground floor lobby of the WTC then returned up the tower, and of course were never seen again. Lesson to all -- when it is an emergency situation, and you have placed yourself somewhere that it is reasonably easy if necessary to get the hell off or out, even if dangerous to do so, DO NOT EVER EVER EVER listen to ANYONE who tells you to go somewhere that you cannot escape and "hope for the best". EVER! Word.

“My jewelry, my iPad... we have nothing.” “We have our lives, okay?” that second woman had a sense of what’s really important

It's horrible to hear those children crying and panicking like that. Poor things. i remember as a child being lost at a big fair for over an hour, separated from my parents, and that feeling has never left me.

19:05 “why are you wearing a life jacket if everything is OK?” “what?” “if everything’s all right? why” “just in case :)” :(

I can’t wrap my head around the fact that they waited an hour to abandon ship.. Even if things didn’t seem to be catastrophic, you always prepare for the worst. That hour could have saved lives.

the fact that a lot of the passengers didn’t know the ship was sinking until they could see it from the lifeboat is absolutely insane. what a sad excuse for a crew and an even WORSE excuse for a captain.

My cousin and her husband were on this ship. They never told them the ship was sinking and rather than going to the cabin, they went to the dining room where they saw how the chairs were sliding. They found their way to the lifeboats because nobody was directing them. It was al mess and she said all she could think of was how their two young kids were going to be orphans. They did an interview for Discovery Channel sometime later.

The captain getting yelled at was the best part.

What's sad is the captain bailed immediately. He was told by his boss and everyone above him to go back and help and be there and he refused. Literally acted dumb like he couldn't hear. He was charged with all those deaths

The man who was yelling at the captain should be promoted. Those are the type of people we need in charge.

I can't believe the doc didn't show the victim's names at the end to give some honor to them. Rest in Peace Costa Concordia Passengers: Michael Blemand - France Jean-Pierre Micheaud - France Mylene Litzler - France Francis Servel - France Pierre Gregoire - France Jeannette Gannard - France Margrit Schoeter - Germany Josef Werp - Germany Margarethe Neth - Germany Norbert Joseph Ganz - Germany Horst Galle - Germany Egon Hoer - Germany Elilsabeth Bauer - Germany Inge Schall - Germany Brunhilde Werp - Germany Christina Mathi Ganz - Germany Siglinde Stumpf - Germany Gabriel Grube - Germany Luisa Antonio Virzi - Italy Maria D'Introna - Italy Maria Grazia Trecarichi - Italy William Arlotti - Italy Dayana Arlotti - Italy (the youngest victim, 5 yrs old) :-( Giovanni Masia - Italy Gual Guillermo - Italy Gerald 'Jerry' Heil - Minnesota, USA Barbara Heil - Minnesota, USA Costa Concordia Crew Members: Erika Fani Soriamolina - crew member, waitress, Peru Girolamo Giuseppe - staff musician, Italy Russel Terence Rebello - crew member, waiter, India Sandor Feher - Staff musician, Hungary Tomas Alberto Costilla Mendoza -crew

He didn’t just abandon his ship and passengers, he abandoned his crew that stayed behind to save everyone else’s life.

To the guy telling the Captain to get his arse back on the ship, you have earned the respect of everyone watching this video!

"You are not allowed to film" Yeah? well you're not allowed to sink a cruise ship

I love the coast guard telling “Schetino” “Listen to me, climb back up that rope and tell me how many people there are on board!” “NOW”. “ I am recording this conversation”

The fact that Captain Scetthino was ever put in charge of a cruise liner is completely insane. He shouldn't have even been given a license for a fishing boat.

They were so close to shore. Would’ve been so easy to send for help. It’s not like the Titanic in the middle of the Atlantic.

"Theres nothing wrong, in fact im gonna go downstairs and grab my bottle of wine" The most Italian thing ever said.

My (now) wife and I were on a cruise ship when this happened, on the packed stair case when our captain came over the ships intercom. Everyone froze and listened, because it was the first and only time we were ever addressed directly by the captain. We all thought something was wrong with our ship immediately. He then told us about this tragedy. You could hear the anguish in his voice. I’ll never forget it…

I can't believe the captain abandoned ship before everyone was gone. First he down plays the damage. Then makes sure he's safe while he's left thousands to suffer.

The guy who was ripping the captains ass for abandoning his ship before everyone else was able to do the same is my hero.

The man that says ‘Shhhh! Respect the people that are still on the boat’ is a good guy. Even in a life threatening situation he remained considerate & empathetic.

and all because the captain chose to not pay attention early enough. Every person could have lived who was abord that ship. and the fact that the captain tried to just run away from the situation that he could have prevented. Was absolutely disgusting.

The rescuer tearing into the captain brought tears to me eyes. He's a hero.

A good tip: if you see crew members in life jackets Go to the nearest life boat don’t wait to be directed

If anything can be learned from situations like these, when they tell you to go back to your cabin, or go back to your office, DONT. When your instincts tell you to get out, get out. Dont hesitate.

This was brilliant film work. Editor and distributor deserve an award. Beyond being a lovely tribute to the survivors and the less lucky, it captures what truly matters about being human in a crisis. Well done.

I’m glad the crew kept aggressively shouting “calm down!” Otherwise people might’ve been really scared.

Imagine dying on a ship that could only be half sunk because the water is so shallow, in perfect view of land....all because the captain didn’t think it was a big deal at first.

The coast guard guy is seriously a hero in this. He said “I promise I will make you pay for this for fu$&s sake”, and he totally followed through on that. His recorded conversation really helped a lot at the trial. Captain Douche can rot in prison- preferably alongside Josh Duggar and the Subway Guy 😂

Parents on board this ship were EPIC. Every child looked after and all fears addressed. Mad respect.

After over 25 years at sea, of which 8 years on cruise ships, I can say the following. When you don't work and take exercises and training very seriously, it can result in a fate like this. The only positive thing about this disaster is that security today is much, much better. This Captain and his colleagues used this 300 meter long ship as a toy / Greatings from Sweden

I understand the crew doesn’t want people to panic, but like, they straight up lied to passengers about what was happening.

Titanic: go back to your rooms, it's all ok. World Trace Center: go back to your offices and remain there, it's all going to be ok. Concordia: Back to your rooms, it's all going to be OK. Etc.

"lifeboat number three" "lifeboat, oh shit"

Adult man: "Relax children! It was an adventure!" Little Girl: "It was not and adventure! It was a MIS-adventure!" WOW! "Out of the mouths of babes, truth speaks" Amazing young girl! :)

Smart of the passengers to go to the lifeboats themselves.

My respect goes out to the coast guard who was hell-bent on getting that captain back on the ship to try and save his passengers.

A childhood friend of mine was working as a dancer on this ship. Once it had turned horizontal she had to clamber from deck 4 up to deck 5 just to be seen by rescue teams.

I felt disgusted when they started clapping while others were still on the sinking cruise ship. People can truly be selfish even without themselves knowing it.

They were close to land. They could have saved everyone with rescue, but they kept lying to the Harbor Manager and people. Greed mixed with stupidity, and uncaring for human life is a horrible thing.

I clearly remember the day my friend was sad because her family had to cancel their cruise vacation on concordia. We both have been very grateful all these years that she never stepped onboard that ship at that day.

The Capt didn't get help sooner because his HUGE EGO was dented...such arrogance...16 years, he should have got life at least.... what a pathetic excuse for a man.....

I can’t believe Captain Schettino left all those people behind! He deserves more than 16 years, many of those people lost something way more precious than he did! Life is a gift. God Bless that sweet woman who took (strangers)people into her home, providing comfort and warmth.That’s the kindness of people in Italy!

guys, can we just appreciate how CALM the father is? He is calming his children and making sure they stay calm.

Not a single life needed to be lost in this event.

I love the guy that chewed out the captain for abandoning the ship with tons of people still on board.

39:24 "Passager, you are not allowed to make a film" "I'm allowed" "Who said you're allowed?" Girl, he got permission to record when he saw something wrong was happening.

It gives me chills that the passenger was told she could not film. No question of are you OK? can I help you? do you have your family members? Can I get you out of the cold?

The dad saying "look there's the shore, we've arrived" to his daughters is doing very well for them..I admire his calmness

16yrs for killing 32 people abandoning ship is an insult to the victims. Not counting the millions in damages. In the Us some do longer prison time for having pot. Really not justice served.

This is why you shouldnt listen to the crew, and its every man for himself. If they tell you to stay there when you KNOW something bad is going on, or you know your ship is sinking burning or whatever. You get the HELL out. Your life depends on you. So many lifes have been lost because they were told to sit still and not panic. Worst advice ever. We get the feeling of panic for a reason, to SAVE OURSELVES!

The captain of the Costa Concordia, Francesco Schettino was found guilty of manslaughter in 2016 and sentenced to 16 years in prison. Francesco Schettino was given 10 years for multiple manslaughters, 5 years for causing a shipwreck, and 1 year for abandoning the passengers at the time of the sinking.

the most heart breaking thing is that 9 people died when they got trapped in elevators at the start of the blackout. They had to endure the listing of the ship only for water to come into the elevator, drowning them. How horrific

Even if all deaths were not contributed to the delayed announcement from the captain, it was still his fault for deviating from the calculated route to "show off" and beat an earlier cruise ship who got really close to the coast to honk and signal to greet the mainland! No one has anything good to say about that man, a coward and a seemingly cheating husband.

The people who died in the elevator... goddamn, not many deaths are that horrific

At 20:32 it's a grim sign. The fact that there is dust coming up from the floor vents means that water is replacing air in the bowels of the ship, and forcing the air upwards. Those poor people are joking about a ghost but it's forewarning them of what's about to happen.

The kid crying is the one that’s clued in to the actual danger immediately

There’s no way 36 people should have died in this accident… what a complete failure by the crew

What I've learned from this: in a disaster situation, always listen to children as their intuition is uncanny

Note to self: Rely only on your instincts in these situations. No matter what they are saying, do your own investigating and act accordingly.

"I am going to make you pay for this" Hats off to that Coast Guard Captain. Several hats, in fact.

The person that filmed this did an amazing job. What courage they had. This was exciting, scary, and informative. That "Captain" was a Wimp. He only cared about himself. I liked the guy giving him hell and telling him to get back up there. That's an order! I would never go on a cruise. Not for me.

When you see the crew walking around with life jackets on telling you everything is fine, that there is just a problem with the generator, and to go back to your rooms and relax….. you know they’re gonna get you killed

"You're not allowed to make film movie" "I'm allowed" "Who say you're allowed?" "Umm the law?"

don't 4get to give praise to the people of the island; they opened there homes 2 so many people they didn't know when something bad happened and gave them a warm place to rest at and think about what they just had 2 go though.

the women screaming on the life boats were so obnoxious. Yelling “the boat is sinking” is so dangerous to say because someone could have thought they meant the lifeboat was sinking.

My ex boyfriends father was a musician/singer on this ship, I still remember he invited us and we went on the ship for a couple of hours and he gaves us a tour when it was docked he came home earlier to the family and thank god for that🙏🏼

Nobody would have died if the captain hadn't delayed the evacuation . The prison sentence he equates to 6 months per life . Sick tbh

So they STILL have no idea how to evacuate a ship and it’s been how many years since the titanic? Couldn’t pay me enough to ever go on a cruise. I can see the ocean from the beach thanks.

We are taught as children, that the captain goes down with the ship. What a coward!

“i have nothing on me, i’ve lost me money, my jewelry, everything.” HOLY CRAP THATS SERIOUSLY WHAT YOU’RE WORRIED ABOUT

31:23 "we have our life, okay." That was powerful because in that situation I'm sure everyone was sad about losing their belongings, but you have to remember what is worth saving.

This pisses me off bc they knew they had an emergency, and tried to play it off as nothing special. They are literally the reason why people have died. Telling the emergency that it was just a generator

My former supervisor was on this ship. She said she got this sickening feeling in the pit of her stomach. A feeling of impending doom. Then she dismissed it as being seasick/ hungover. She said not even 3 minutes after she got that immediate gut punch, she heard her mothers voice who died some years prior to this telling her, “Becca! Get the hell off the boat now!” Then she said she got a cold chill up her spine. She immediately grabbed all the important stuff like their passports, medications, wallets, etc. and bum rushed pass the staff who were telling her to go back the other way. Her husband was tossed to the floor when a chair came hurdling at him from a room whose door was propped open with a chair. She said everyone who saw that immediately started hauling ass. A lot of the men stayed and were helping the elderly get to the deck because they were almost at a 45 degree angle. Luckily they made it off Alive. She said if she would’ve went back listening to the crew, she would’ve died with all the other people on her hall who were trapped on a corridor and drowned. She said she was still seeing a psychiatrist and in therapy because of the trauma of it all to this day. Any movie on boats or large open bodies of water make her sick to her stomach and causes severe anxiety. Prior to this happening she was an avid beach goer here in Jersey and would go to Hawaii twice a year to surf with her husband. After this she won’t even go to sit on the sand at the beach because of the PTSD! The real kicker is they were refunded almost 6 Months later for the cost of their tickets and $200 for their valuables each. She said she had to fight tooth and nail to get the money back from her charge card used on the ship and at the bar. She ultimately won because they couldn’t produce receipts, because the ship was at the bottom of the ocean and all.. I couldn’t imagine.

The "captain" Francesco Schettino literally testified he fell of the boat and into a life boat but in the end still refused to get back on board. He was later sentenced is 2015 to 16 years in prison. 10 years for manslaughter, 5 years for the wreak and 1 year for abandonment. The Naval officer Gregorio de Falco who was yelling for the "captain" to get back on board of course does not believe he simply fell onto a life boat and is currently a member of the Italian Senate.

The fact that this REAL footage is so much like the movie Titanic is a testament to how great the production quality of Titanic was.

The guy who lost his temper with the captain is a real hero... He really was trying to get the captain back on board. The captain is a coward...

I love the Italian fireman father who keeps everything so light and tries to make it a fun adventure. I couldn't help but hear the voice of the Italian father in "Life is Beautiful" as he made a Nazi concentration camp an exciting adventure for his boy.

Generally, there are only two reasons that a boat is listing. It is taking on water or it has hit something and is no longer floating. Not that there is a problem with the engine.

39:25 The woman who said "You're not allowed to make a film" was Captain Schettino's mistress who of course was one of the first people to be evacuated.

I’m not a mommy, none the less just one tiny clip of a child crying trying to get to a life boat ripped my heart up.

RIP to the 32 people on board and 1 salvage member who died... Since the doc couldn't be bothered to mention them at all...

As terrible as this event was I can't help but appreciate the way so many passengers managed to keep it together and be respectful of others in an emergency. The "captain" was happy to take pictures with his passengers when it suited him to be in charge but the minute that things got scary he was unwilling to live up to his title. Cowardice in a crisis is not what we expect from a Captain, the kindness of the strangers taking survivors into their homes was such a contrast to his shameful behaviour. The dad who was making "dad jokes" all the way through knew how to keep things together too, "laugh or you'll cry" as they say. This was really well done, just having the videos speak for themselves with no narration. Thank you for sharing. ❤

It would be scary to be there with yourself and maybe your spouse or friend but I couldn't even imagine how terrifying that would be with your kids there.

""You're not allowed to make a film." What are you gonna do? Kick them off the boat?

14:46 “I hope they pay our wine bill!” Im glad that guys trying to bring good to a bad situation

What's amazing is how heightened all the kid's senses/fear are.. they are the most alarmed because they aren't yet conditioned to find a logical reason for everything. They just naturally feel the danger that a lot of the adults are dismissing

The guy who yelled at the captian and was like "its dark and you wanna go home? To fuckin bad im in charge get on the boat NOW" is a fuckin G, that captain wanted to pretend nothing was going on those bodies are on his hands and he wamts to abandon ship? Smfh

I can't believe a captain would desert his post during a time like this...even during a earthquake, as a hospital employee, we ran upstairs to help our patients . That's our call of duty!!

Damn man, such a f**k*d up story. My heart goes out to all the people lost. To think there mindsets seeing mostly everyone else get off, on land and their stuck, blinking lights to survive. My God..So messed up man. Captain should have got LIFE!.

"oh its dark captain? its dark and you wanna go home?" ...that man the real MVP

Makes me absolutely FURIOUS when those in authority downplay the danger and lie to the guests!

A musician Giuseppe Girolamo gave up his place in the lifeboat to a family with two children despite not being able to swim,he ended up drowning that night

Bright Sun Films did a tremendous video on this. The audio of the Coast Guard yelling at the captain to get back onto the boat was insane. The way this man denied going back to save the people he was in charge of keeping safe is unbelievable.

Damn, to think how many people were giving the captain the benefit of the doubt or just outright trusting him, and he betrays them by just sneaking off the ship.
