FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
However, she admitted Capt Schettino had once been fined for steering too
close to the coast in the past.
“Our shared passion is canoeing – to paddle together you have to be in
symphony, which is what Francesco and I are,” she said. “But we
got fined once, because we took a little motorboat too close to the coast.”
She said her husband had been unfairly branded a coward after it emerged that
he took to a life boat during the drama, leaving hundreds of terrified
passengers and crew members still aboard the stricken liner.
Audio recordings emerged in which a furious Coast Guard official ordered him
to “get back on board, for —-‘s sake” and take command of the
situation – an order he apparently ignored.
But his wife claimed he was “determined, firm and lucid. He is able to
analyse situations, to understand and manage them”.
Capt Schettino was regarded as “a maestro” by his crew, his wife
said.
Meanwhile the chief prosecutor overseeing the investigation said failings in
safety procedures meant that Genoa-based Costa Cruises should also be
investigated.
Beniamino Deidda, the chief prosecutor of Tuscany, pointed to “life boats
that could not be lowered, crew that did not know what to do, inadequate
preparation for emergencies and absurd orders such as the one for passengers
to return to their cabins.
“For now, attention is concentrated on the fault of the captain, who
showed himself to be tragically inadequate. But who chose the captain? Not
all the shortcomings in safety procedures can be blamed on the captain’s
conduct.”
The operation to remove half a million gallons of oil and diesel out of the
crippled ship finally got under way, with a barge loaded with drills and
pipes mooring alongside the Concordia.
Divers will spend the first part of the operation inspecting the hull, with
the removal of the fuel expected to start on Saturday and to take at least a
month.
As Italian navy divers blasted more holes in the hull to aid the continuing
search for bodies, chairs, tables and passengers’ luggage floated out into
the sea – just some of the tens of thousands of objects trapped inside the
huge vessel.
