Here's a new report. It says that the captain is claimed he tripped and fell into a life boat. Is it just me or does that not sound very likely?
Overhead Bin - Report: Cruise ship captain claims he fell overboard
Under the files of you can't make this **** up:
Survivors of the cruise ship are reporting that the song playing in the restaurant as the ship was going down was Celine Dion's Titanic hit, "My Heart Will Go On."

Thank god Celine Dion is Canadian, otherwise a certain DP poster would burst back into the thread again claiming American conspiracy to slander the poor captain. :mrgreen:
This so called rule that a captain should be the last man off the ship was probably written by rich old white men and many of them probably owned slaves. It is obsolete now and needs revamped, our new morality doesn't allow for such chivalry and the new rule when a ship is sinking should be every man for himself, women and children too. We can't live by laws written 200 years ago "dude".
It is a mariner tradition. Sinking of large cruise ships is very rare but there are many cases of fishing boats that have sunk where the captain died saving the crew.
Mariners are a different breed.

There were 1,000 crew members on the ship; 3,000 passengers. One would think that any cruise ship would have policies and procedures for onboard emergencies.
