Captain Coward: The Costa Concordia Cruise Ship Disaster

On today's episode, we'll uncover how a single foolish decision cost the lives of 32 people. What started as a luxurious cruise off the Mediterranean coast became a desperate fight for survival. And for many, one man was to blame: Captain Francesco Schettino. Did the married captain really change course to impress a lover on board? Why was he one of the first to abandon ship while thousands were left on board? Are his claims of 'accidentally falling into a lifeboat' really valid? And who were the real heroes in this unfortunate tragedy? This is the story of Costa Concordia. A big thank you to Vincent Eychenne for sharing his nautical knowledge with us!
