Now before anyone makes accusations that the "News In Shorts" is being racist against Italians or that it is indulging in politically incorrect stories about Italian tanks having six reverse gears etc, the editor would like point out that half his family is actually Italian. With that out of the way we would like to review Captain Schettino's account of himself and his interpretation of the "Birkenhead Drill." After steering his ship onto rocks in an attempt to show off to the inhabitants of Isola di Giglio, he raced back to his cabin where he changed out of his uniform, he then inadvertently strayed too close to the edge of the deck, accidentally tripped over and fell into a lifeboat where he spent the next hour arguing with the Port Commander about his reasons for not getting back on the striken ship to help coordinate rescue efforts. I don't know about the rest of you but he's got me convinced, although for some reason the phrase "il fascio di cazzo" keeps coming to mind.
