Costa Concordia captain claims he tripped and fell from sinking ship into lifeboat
The captain of the stricken Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia is claiming that he tripped and fell into a lifeboat during the emergency.

Francesco Schettino said he stumbled as the ship was tipping dangerously and he was helping passengers, according to media reports.

“The passengers were pouring on to the decks, taking the lifeboats by assault,” he is alleged to have told an investigating judge according tom Italy’s La Repubblica newspaper.

“I didn’t even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers. I was trying to get people to get into the boats in an orderly fashion. Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60 to 70 degree angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats. That’s how I found myself there,” The Daily Telegraph quoted him as saying. (Photo: Reuters)
