Captain Francesco Schettino recently testified in court that he did not abandon his ship on the day of his fateful shipwreck but instead just “fell into a lifeboat” while trying to save his passengers. The captain is on trial for wrecking a cruise ship while navigating it too closely to shore in order to impress a woman on board with whom he was having an affair. Captain Schettino also denies actually having an affair with the young lady but claims instead that he simply “fell into this woman’s vagina”.
