Oh well, I saw similar with MSC. Had a C/Mate who did not know how to launch a rhib boat, he is now a Captain. Lots more to that story but will not bore anyone……..

Needless to say I am in COMPLETE agreement with your comment. (Said as a long retired, deep sea, bridge watchkeeping officer.)

The ‘documentary’ you’ve seen – presumably taken on passengers’ video phones – would have been filmed whilst they, the passengers, WERE being saved by the majority of the crew. Crew members NOT attempting to save passengers were, obviously, in the minority otherwise can you, please, explain how 4,000 people can miraculously be ‘transferred’ to dry land from a foundering ship?

Did I miss something?
