Captain Francesco Schettino, who is being investigated for charges including manslaughter after the Costa Concordia capsized off the coast of Italy on Friday, has offered a rather unconvincing explanation of just how he allegedly ended up leaving his ship: “Suddenly, since the ship was at a 60-70° angle, I tripped and I ended up in one of the boats,” Schettino said, “That’s how I found myself in the lifeboat.”
