FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda
As Italian
Navy divers continued the search for survivors:
– Salvage crews were racing against time to prevent the ship, perched on the
edge of an undersea ledge, from slipping to 300ft.
– Choppy waters hampered attempts to pump out 500,000 gallons of fuel to
prevent an environmental disaster.
– Mr Schettino had previously said that he liked to “diverge from standard
procedures” but would not want to be “the captain of the Titanic”.
– Hundreds of people joined a Facebook page to vent their anger at the
captain’s “cowardice” in leaving his ship.
Antonello Tievoli, 46, the head waiter of the Costa Concordia, is “tormented
by a sense of guilt” over the tragedy, his family said, even though he did
not ask the captain to perform the sail-by.
His father, Giuseppe Tievoli, 82, said: “Antonello called me to say the ship
would be passing by the island at around 9:30 and they would come and give
us a whistle to say hello. It was something they often did.
“The ship obviously came too close. I don’t know if Antonello asked the
captain to come near, but the responsibility is always and only the
captain’s.”
At 9.08pm, half an hour before the ship was ripped open by submerged rocks 150
yards from the shore, the waiter’s sister Patrizia, a teacher who also lives
on Giglio, wrote on her Facebook page: “In just a little while the Concordia
is going to pass really close. A big hello to my brother who will finally
disembark at Savona to enjoy a bit of rest.”
Hours later, after the ship capsized, she wrote: “A tragedy, a deadful
tragedy. I can’t believe it’s true. I just hope I will wake up and realise
that it was a nightmare. The longest night of my life.”
She later posted a black and white photograph of the Titanic, dated 1912, next
to one of the Concordia on its side, dated 2012.
She also passed judgement on the captain’s claim that the rocks were not
marked on his nautical charts. “Not very convincing at all!” she wrote.
Mr Schettino, 52, had reportedly performed the sail-by several times in the
past, as a salute to his former boss Mario Palombo, a retired Costa captain
who has a summer home on the island.
From his house in Grosseto, Tuscany, where he spends the winter months, Mr
Palombo said: “I cannot understand what could have happened, what passed
through my colleague’s head. The captain sets the course – on board the
ship, he’s king. But I don’t want to be dragged into this argument.”
Costa confirmed that its captains had been given permission to sail within 500
yards of the island to “bow” to its inhabitants in the past, but said the
captain was solely to blame for what happened on Friday night.
Mr Foschi said his company’s ship were fitted with alarms that sound when they
deviate from the programmed route.
He apologised to the families of the dead, but said that “this route was put
in correctly,” and “human error” was to blame.
Francesco Verusio, the chief prosecutor in the case, said: “We are struck by
the unscrupulousness of the reckless manoeuvre that the commander of the
Costa Concordia made near the island of Giglio. It was inexcusable.”
Mr Schettino only told the coastguard his ship was taking on water 45 minutes
after it hit the rocks, and allegedly abandoned the vessel while hundreds of
people were still on board, later ignoring an order from the coastguard to
go back to the capsized vessel to supervise the evacuation.
His lawyer, Bruno Leporatti, said the captain was “overcome and wants to
express his greatest condolences to the victims”.
