A shocking documentary about the sinking of a giant ship.

I wonder if investigators combed the island for Costa shipping management staying in accommodations and hoping to flaunt their big ship to their fat, cigar smoking, whiskey swilling moronic friends, to impress.

The Captain was indeed a coward, as he carried his suitcases ashore after abandoning ship and leaving everyone to fend for themselves.

In 1998, I worked on Superstar Gemini "Star Cruises " out of Singapore and I can tell you the Finnish and Swedish officers would routinely get rolling drunk in the guest bars and on one occasion, two Perth, Australia passengers had to carry a bridge officer back to his cabin because he was so drunk he couldn't walk! And he was back on the bridge five hours later. I know that extensive reports were repeatedly given to head office in Port Klang, regarding the disgraceful behaviour of the bridge officers and absolutely NOTHING happened. I always felt so grateful to be alive , each morning.

The power hungry Swedish Captain did all he could to keep the reports from reaching head office. Mostly Australians would holiday on the Gemini and all those who sailed should be equally grateful to have survived the drunken officers. All of us had to work ten months on with one month off but the officers only worked two months on with two months off, with four, five, six times our monthly pay. The Captain also really enjoyed doing cabin inspections two hours after we had gone to bed! He was a pig!

A solid documentary, well done to all involved and the heroes who saved so many lives.
