In
this
file
photo,
Francesco Schettino,
right,
the
captain
of the
luxury
cruiser
Costa
Concordia,
which
ran
aground
off
Italy's
tiny
Tuscan
island
of Isola
del
Giglio,
is taken
into
custody
Saturday by Carabinieri
in Porto
Santo
Stefano,
Italy.
Seamen
have
expressed
almost
universal
outrage
at Capt.
Francesco
Schettino,
accused
of
manslaughter,
causing
a
shipwreck
and of
abandoning
his
crippled
cruise
ship off
Tuscany
while
passengers
were
still on
board.
The
charge
of
abandoning
his ship
carries
a
potential
sentence
of 12
years in
prison.
Seafaring
tradition
holds
that the
captain
should
be last
to leave
a
sinking
ship.
But is
it
realistic
to
expect
skippers
-- only
human
after
all -- to
suppress
their
survival
instinct
amid the
horror
of a
maritime
disaster?
To ask
them to
stare
down
death
from the
bridge,
as the
lights
go out
and the
water
rises,
until
everyone
else has
made it
to
safety?
From
mariners
on ships
plying
the
world's
oceans,
the
answer
is loud
and
clear:
Aye.
