I recently watched a Nova special on the re-float. Amazing feat of engineering that. Can't say I blame the court for locking him up.

Does tradition has anything to do with the captain's behavior?

I would not expect this from a British captain. Am I influenced by
history, films, books?

Are you referring to a somehow special Italian dolce vita attitude? We should be careful with generalizations...

But this man is an asshole, that's for sure. The accident was one thing, but how he acted after the accident, during the trial, for example, was so shocking for the families of the victims. An alpha male gorilla who is actually a coward chicken.

The German bereaved said a week ago that they want to see him in jail, no matter for how long.

True!

I guess I am over impressed with British naval history.

British seafarers tend to have exceptionally large brass balls. Most British and German captains would still be on the boat.
