Costa Concordia Wreck.


Ah jeez.  Ships are not supposed to look like that. 

At this writing there are 11 dead in the wreck of the Costa Concordia cruise ship last Friday and you wouldn't want to be this guy right now.



First reported last night by Sky in England, transcripts of phone conversations between onshore Italian police and Captain Francesco Schettino reveal that Schettino abandoned ship.

"Do you realize it's dark out here and we can't see anything?," implored Francesco (from a rowboat).

"Do you want to go home?  It's dark so you want to go home?," replied the police officer mockingly. "Get back on board, dick!  On board! And you get back to me right away how many people are there!"


Ah jeez.
