And the Douchebag of the Year award goes to the Francesco Schettino!
Captian of the Costa Concordia
Or shall we say "Shit"tino? This sack-of-shit overrides, bypasses, and disables all of his ship's safety protocols, software and hardware that is in place to keep his the ship from trying to sail through dry land... And then kills his vessel and 11 people (last count) and jeopordized every soul on board by steering it up an over rocks, while attempting to do a close "sail-by" and wake the harbor to impress a buddy that lives on the island. To top it off, he abandons the ship, and refuses repeaded orders to reboard and aid in the rescue. (that he's already FUBAR'd) He has killed 11; destroyed a modern ship worth millions, and may have bankrupted a cruise line.

His actions go well beyond any description that's fitting. Although, three quick ones I think are loser, dumbass, and mo-ron.

Ultimately, the Italian justice system will give him a slap on the wrist.

He has certainly done a good job advancing Italian naval traditions.

I deal with a lot of helicopters that are based on yachts. I have yet to hear anything good about a captain on a boat.

I can't believe that that ship is a total loss. I would imagine that they would make sections of the ship watertight, then pump in compressed air and pump out the seawater. It would probably be a multi stage process, but eventually, it seems like that could right and float the ship. From there, tow it to drydock and effect repairs.
That's just a guess, though. |

It amazes me that people like this get and keep high ranking positions. It's like they just grabbed some schmoe off the street and said, "Here buddy. Will you 'drive' this ship for us."
