2:32 am
the rescue of the sinking cruise ship garia how did you get to know about the tragedy. yes we were the first to help we were sailing in the same direction as the bulgaria and to be picked up on the radio just bits of conversations between some ships we couldn't think out what the ships were we heard them talk of seeing people overboard and speculating that it looked like a boat or a small ship it capsized once we heard that we put on more speed to get there faster when we did arrive at the tragedy site we saw terrible things and only when we realized that it was the pleasure gary of that it sunk to the true scope of the disaster strike us. how long did it take you to get to the scene. but. i would say about five to ten minutes fifteen at most from the moment we heard the radio talk it all happened very quickly as we were nearing the site we began to figure out how many people there were in the water although that was hard to do because there was a lot of rubble floating around as well it was very hard to pick out individual
2:33 am
people from among the floating debris it was truly a tragic picture that we saw what condition where these people where they panic stricken right assange. when we got them on board we had so much to deal with of course they were kind of stricken they were in deep shock what happened is quite horrible like crew members who were involved in rescue works they were deeply involved too some people were in a dreadful condition many were injured they had all 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 greasy and hard to get a holes to pull them on board seeing children in da condition that was particularly heartbreaking. and probably it was very hard and survive it. had lost family members in the tragedy. as far as i know although it may be wrong but i understand that only one family survived the wreck without losing any members most people did
2:34 am
lose their close and loved ones and yes indeed it is very hard for both on the survivors and on us to we all feel very deeply for them. right there is just that task here area crew were coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful i was there a lot of other girls we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading of course each was spelt it deep inside but we had to remain calm and professional to control our feelings. and succeeded in saving so many people that's how the of seven seven would help chances are that was there anything particular that helped. you know i find it hard to say what helped us because after the storm there was a brief period of kaun and it happened just as we approached the wreck site that short moment of calm allowed us to pull people on board but 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 for
2:35 am
the crew when i already said that they performed in the past possible way that 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 about what about the arabella was packed to full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes are you these loud were deliberately they helped a lot they can sold the injured and there were doctors among the tourists on the hour a valid basis of the ship's medic as he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors it was very important. that the people who survived the ship cracked all the journalists that when they found themselves in the water and the boat sunk they were instantly cold and of that water as the rock and then pumped out to the surface again and observe the sack if that it looked as though the sinking boat from the sort of funnel that put everything in
2:36 am
what happens in reality the more than that of course the sinking boat can pull objects floating on the surface under the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the water it will for all pool that can suck people limit what if people who were afloat when the ship sank most of fairly normal strength to fight the world pool 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 are they being the one for the fight to come up. with i can't be precise about that but i think they were in the water for half an hour or so some of them a try to get into life rafts others were still in the water stressing this. there are a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them says the boat attacked around the facts and saw the bulgarian talk sometime before the scene came out of the sea you know that you see not all technical defects can be seen from the outside experts say that the crews are listed to one side to go with i don't know
2:37 am
how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not familiar with ships of this type i've never worked on that design of the young but 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 and i know there are witnesses who insist that the bogus it to the right even when it was darker 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 it true what you know but the letters to you i told you just now that the boat was listing but i can't tell you how critical it was to the ship of. could you happen to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking as they considered the possibility that something might happen did they tell you about it that it was the end of the twenty arabella dr bull got with it was one of the plans stops but we occupied the second berth while the bulgaria was tied to the first one they were leaving in eleven o'clock and we stayed till
2:38 am
thirteen hundred hours. when they were sailing off we had to maneuver in order to let the boat as and continue its cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore scott of the former captain of the boat in the current second mate of the bulgarian to me at last a little of in the center of the main jet he had worked with the bulgarian from the very beginning well back in the times when she was called ukraine before he was the captain of the ukraine but old age prevented him from remaining in charge because it is an exhausting post which the captain works very hard and it's too charming for an old man he realized this and decided to step down to the maze position because it is easier and better for the older man he did not want to leave the bulgaria ukraine. his mothership and i approached him and we chatted a bit we shook hands and i asked him mr nozzle if you're tired of sailing at your age and he told me with his sadness you know but 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 with the most memorable thing he told me that stuck in my
2:39 am
mind was when he said he didn't want to sail this year but i don't know it just didn't feel like sailing this season and then this thing happened and seeing from the way you're attacking this story is no longer alive that was a hoax and that's right sadly he is gone and his body was recovered and identified it's such a pity it was a good man and a true captain such a pity isn't true that the ship sank really fast yes you know i've spoken to some 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 by it but they still say it took the ship something 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 brace up somehow and that suggests that it is possible that the accident could claim so many lives because it all happened so fast all right so
2:40 am
it's not in the part of south about this tabasco that as many crane possible carrier just passed by we're going to start going to see what was going on but i did a pregnancy i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel a heavy duty tow boat with a large part maybe it was a little bit ahead of us i don't know why they didn't stop in front of the size if they saw it happening and i can't say whether they saw it all leadership but by the time they decided to hold and come to the rescue we were already there i don't know if i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's nascar jurisdiction and inertia maybe they had tried to stop earlier than dosh. way 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 move about in that situation it was paramount that we avoided panic and assess the situation but that 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
2:41 am
a lot faster than this solution could have because at that moment there was just so little time for both eight hundred. we had contact but we just exchanged a few phrases i merely told her car to that it was pointless for him to try to rescue anyone of that knowledge 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 a sandwich i don't want to blame anyone but at that moment it was already too late should have bracket they're in there he would have to hold the ship lower a boat but we were already approaching the site in our ship and 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 of i don't know his vessels mass and inertia characteristics maybe he needed much more time to start his ship and no real blows i wouldn't rule
2:42 am
that out i was just assessing the situation realistically at that moment and i think or that there was no use for his boat there at the time you see what's supposed to be a odors in that situation or not of course not i'm the captain of one ship he is the captain of another ship i couldn't give him any orders or instructions because he didn't report to me and now some people in the press are already twisting the story saying i ordered him not to stop it ben why sir sir and you've been the captain of the other ship and you were told i should move on and your help wasn't now here's what would you do. if i can't imagine myself the captain of that ship i don't want to offend anyone it's just that i don't 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 sold people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much.
