Costa Concordia – Human Element Part II
In the interests of editorial balance following my post yesterday on this subject, there is an interesting article on the gCaptain website that puts forward an alternative viewpoint on the behaviour of Captain Schettino.
“The only fact that is certain in the Costa Concordia disaster is the universal truth of all maritime disasters… human mistakes were made by multiple individuals.”
This is worth reading, not just from the point of view of considering both sides of the story, but for the discussion of the Human Element issues involved in the incident as a whole.
Recommended reading for anyone genuinely interested in the issues surrounding the accident.
“Critical thinking is important in the process of learning from our mistakes. There were a great deal of bad decisions made last Friday night, however a number of other decisions made by Captain Schettino, Micky Arison and most certainly the ship’s crew, saved many lives that day.”
