well all over their skin because when the ship sank the fuel oil came up to the surface and spread everywhere and covered the people that made rescue even harder because the oil made the victims or e.c. and hard to get a holes to pull them on board seeing children in that condition was particularly heartbreaking when. it was very hard on survivors could just kind of them and there's a tragedy of this point as far as i know although it may be wrong i mean i understand that only one family survived the wreck without losing any members of the most people did lose their close and loved ones and yes indeed it was very hard for both on the survivors and on us to we all feel very deeply for them. right and i was just about to ask you how your crew were coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful it was that double when we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading of course each of us felt it deep inside but we had to remain calm and professional to
12:32 am
control our feelings. and succeeded in saving so many people a total of seven to seven what helped to do that was there anything particular that helped. hit as well you know i find it hard to say what helped us because after that storm there was a brief period of calm and it happened just as we approached the wreck site that short moment of calm allowed us to pull people on board once the rescue operation was over and we went to investigate the wreck site again the rough weather came back over the water was very rough again we got there just in time as for the crew when i already said that they performed in the best possible way everyone acted very competently the speed of the crew significantly helped save people's lives they just wanted to get the job done how many passengers were on board at that time and how did they react less about one of the one of the arabella was packed to full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes i use this loud word deliberately they helped
12:33 am
a lot they consoled the injured and there were doctors among the tourists on the arabella they assisted the ship's medic as he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors that was very important. you know if you've got the people who survived the ship cracked all the journalists that when they found themselves in the water and the boat sank they were instantly cooled and of that water that's the rock and then pumped up to the surface again one observer sat he thought it looked as though the sinking boat from the sort of funnel that put everything in what happens in reality the more that's a good source of course a sinking boat can pull objects floating on the surface under the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the water into a whirlpool that can suck people live about it but people who were afloat when the ship sank must have found enormous strength to fight the whirlpool and return to the surface it is difficult to tell because i have never been in their shoes and i can't imagine what it would be like if they'd been the one for the fight pick them
12:34 am
up but i want to party with i can't be precise about that but i think they were in the water for half an hour or so but also some of them a try to get into life rafts others were still in the water stressing. for a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them sas the boat attack all the facts you saw the bulgarian talk sometime before the sinking it's not a factor to you. you see not all technical defects can be seen from outside experts say that the cruiser listed to one side of book i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not familiar with ships of this type i've never worked on that design but put it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser i say again that i can't pass judgment because i never inspected its engine but it is very difficult to tell if you don't know the particulars. there eyewitnesses who insist that the boat listed to the right even when it was dark at prato so the listing was visible i'm not sure it was really so because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question is
12:35 am
a true over here but the better story is i told you just now that the boat was listing but i can't tell you how critical it was to the ship what we did you happened to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking that they consider the possibility that something might happen did they tell you about it that's. when the arabella dr bull got it it was one of the plant stops we occupied the second birth while the bulgaria was tied at the first one they were leaving at eleven o'clock and we stayed till ten thirteen hundred hours when they were sailing off we had to maneuver in order to let the boat out and continue its cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore and spot of the former captain of the boat and the current second mate of the bulgaria allotted me another little of in the center of the main deck he had worked with the bulgaria from the very beginning back in the times when she was called ukraine he was the captain of the ukraine but old age prevented him from remaining in charge because it is an exhausting post the captain works very hard and it's too tiring for an old
12:36 am
man he realised this and decided to step down to the mates position because it is easier and better for the older man he did not want to leave the bulgaria you. crane his mother ship and i approached him and we chatted a bit we shook hands and i asked him mr nasr of aren't you tired of standing at your age and he told me with this sadness you know that he's got nothing to do at home his wife had passed away a few years ago and all that was left for him as a consolation was his job but the most memorable thing he told me one that stuck in my mind was when he said he didn't want to sail this year i don't know he just didn't feel like sailing this season and then this thing happened and seen from the way you're attacking this story he's no longer alive. that's right sadly he is gone his body was recovered and identified it's such a pity he was a good man and a true captain such a pity is it true that the ship sank really fast yes you know i've spoken to some
12:37 am
of the witnesses i mean survivors of course there are different versions but i attribute this to shock because they just couldn't get their thoughts together and were rather confused but they still say it took the ship something in like two or three maybe five minutes to sink and that really is a very short time and it is difficult to lower any boats or rafts in the meantime with a strong lurch like that or brace up somehow that and that suggest that it is possible that the accident could claim so many lives because it all happened so fast but i suspect that is talk about this to vassals that as many claim passed the bulgaria or did they were just passed by why didn't they stop the see what was going on with heads in a package cabin and i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically civil tenuously with one other vessel a heavy duty to a boat with a large barge maybe it was a little bit ahead of us i don't know why they didn't stop in front of the site if they saw it happening and i can't say whether they saw it at all either but by the
12:38 am
time they decided to hold and come to the rescue we were already there i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's mass characteristics and inertia maybe they had tried to stop earlier than dosh. anyway at that moment we were there and the ship's presence at that spot could be counterproductive and hazardous for the people who were in the water and below the surface. in that situation it was paramount that we avoided panic and assess the situation it was necessary to observe the scene of the accident and it was necessary to start rescuing people immediately but anyway i think we did it all faster than this other ship could have because at that moment there was just so little time. that you had read it contact with them let's see as we had contact but we just exchanged a few phrases i merely told her captor that it was pointless for him to try to rescue anyone at that moment and i asked him to move ahead a little so as not to impede our rescue operation at that moment there was no use for his help that's what i can tell you maybe if it had been rendered earlier it could have come in handy but at that time there was no point in it and
12:39 am
a sandwich you don't want to blame anyone but at that moment it was already too late he should have grabbed it there in there he would have to hold the ship lower a boat but we were already approaching the site and our ship i already had boats afloat and advancing towards the site and his boat what could it do we were practically beginning to collect the people from the water once again i'm not trying to accuse him was i don't know his vessels mass and inertia characteristics maybe he needed much more time to stop his ship and lower bows but i wouldn't rule that out i was just assessing the situation realistically at that moment and i figured that there was no use for his boat there at the time you see what was supposed to bayeux it is in that situation or not but of course not i'm the captain of one ship he is a captain of another ship i couldn't give him any orders or instructions because he doesn't report to me and now some people in the press are already twisting the story saying i ordered him not to stop it had been wise person and had been the captain of the other ship and you're a town that should move on and your help was of no here is what would you to. but
12:40 am
i can't imagine myself a captain of that ship i don't want to offend anyone it's just that i don't. you know what i would do if i were in his shoes at the moment but if i had seen all that happening right in front of me or simply saw people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much. first tree removal called clear cut. second explosives are used to blast a deeper than the. third the remains are buying machinery. finally the fund. is deposited in vallecito.
