Cruise Ship Captian in Trouble

The captian of the cruise ship that collided with rocks and high sided in Italy announced in court  that he made a mistake when the accident happened. In a tapped phone conversation he said to a friend that it was not an accident however, and that he was pressured by officials to steer the boat into the area of the collision. The captain has faced a lot of scrutiny for his behavior regaurding what happened on that day. He faces charges of manslaughter, abandoning ship, and shipwreck. He has faced the most judgement by other captains for abandoning his own ship when it struck the rocks and rolled onto its side. It was also found that he was going 15 knots at the time in which he hit the rocks, which some people think was well too fast for the dangerous area that he was going into.The captain is in serious trouble for the endangerment of 4,000 that he caused by his careless operation of the ship he was piloting.
