The Costa Concordia accident was allegedly caused by a cruise captain who wrecked the ship in an attempt to “impress his lover.”
Most men wouldn’t dare endanger the lives of almost 4,000 people for the sake of showing off, yet many guys have gone to tremendous lengths to win a lady.
However, 33 passengers and crew members were tragically died as a result of Francesco Schettino’s judgment, suggesting that he did not get this message.
After being found guilty of manslaughter for triggering the Costa Concordia catastrophe and leaving his passengers behind, the former Italian shipmaster is still in prison.
He is now halfway through his 16-year sentence, which he started serving in 2017 when the appeals process was exhausted.
