Captain Schettino of the cruise ship that capsized on Friday, killing at least 11 people, has admitted making a navigation mistake.
We haven’t made Schettino the douchebag of the week because of his mistake, we all make mistakes and it’s truly awful that this man will have to live with this for the rest of his life. He is being honoured with our lovely award for the way in which he dealt with the situation.
The captain ran the ship into the rocks and the ship slowly began to sink. Before anyone knew what was happening the captain had left his ship and all passengers. He was on land while people were panicing and confused on the ship that he had steered into rocks. He is now under house arrest and facing possible charges of manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning his ship.
