Captain Francesco Schettino begins his 16 year prison sentence for the Costa Concordia disaster after losing his appeal. About time.

I think every 'deckman' everywhere, plus every sailor in the other departments, thinks the same. They should lock the cell door and lose the key.

Very glad to see that he is finally on the way to the slammer!
When I read that he was in a taxi, on his way to the local supermarket to buy a new pair of dry socks to replace his wet ones, while over 400 pax were still trying to find a way off his ship, I hoped something unsavoury would happen to him. Just didn't realise it would take so long.
I really did love the first judge, who put him under house arrest. I bet Schittino was looking for somewhere to hide from his missus when the facts came out about where his 'interpreter' was bunking up! She would really have given him the cold shoulder!
Cheers,
Skilly
