when we got them on board we had so much to deal with of course they were panic stricken they were in deep shock but what happened was quite horrible my crew members who were involved in rescue works they got deeply involved too some people were in a dreadful condition many were injured they had oil 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 cowardly it was very hard on survivors just kind of in and there's a 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 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 there is just about it's ask you

how your crew are coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful is that a lot of when i double when we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading and of course each of us felt it deep inside but we had to remain calm and professional to control our feelings. and succeeded in saving so many people a total of seven to seven when how to do that was there anything in particular that helped. 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 but once the rescue operation was over and we went to investigate the wreck site again the rough weather came back on 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 a lot they consoled the injured and there were doctors among the tourists on the arabella base is that the ship's medic as he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors that was very important critical of. 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 pulled under that water that's the rock and then pumped out 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 gets us out 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 into wolf whirlpool

that can suck people live about it but people who were afloat when the ship sank must have an 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 had they been in the water for long before i picked them up but i want to put in 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 tried to get into life rafts others were still in the water it's just for a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them sas on the boat had taken all the facts and saw the bulgarian dock sometime before the sinking it's not a factor to you those that you see not all technical defects can be seen from outside experts say that the crews are listed to one side a book with i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not overly you with ships of this type i never worked on the design of the penalty and what it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser i say again that i can't pay. judgment because i never inspected its engine but if it

is very difficult to tell if you don't know the particulars you're there i'm with mrs francis out of both listened to the right even when it was dark so the listening was raised about what i'm not sure it was worth so because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question is a true but then we go 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 what we did you happen to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking if you consider the possibility that something might happen to the town you bought it let them was there any pick it up with when the arabella dr bull got in with it was one of the planned stops but 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 took 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 spotted the former captain of the boat in the current second mate of the

bulgarian nozzle of in the center of the main deck if he had worked with the bulgaria from the very beginning well 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 man but he realized this and decided to step down to the mate's position because it is easier and better for the older man what he did not want to leave the bulgaria ukraine his mother ship and i approached him and we chatted a bit we shook hands and i asked him mr nozzle if you're 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 was i don't know he just didn't feel like sailing this season and then this thing happened. seen from the

way you're attacking this story he's no longer alive that was a hoax that's right sadly he is gone and 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 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 about it 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 brace up some have it 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 in part it's talk about this or vassals that as many claim passed the bulgaria or did they were just passed by why didn't they stop at the scene what was going on with head in

a package cabin that i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel but a heavy duty towboat 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 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 though i don't know if i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's mass characteristics and inertia maybe they had tried to stop earlier than that anyway so 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 which was up with us in that situation it was paramount that we avoided panic a disaster 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 it all faster than this other ship could have because at that moment there was just so little time for both of us as both do you have rabbit contact with them just as we had contact butt. 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 a sign that you don't want to blame anyone but at that moment it was already too late he should have bracket there in their work with he would have to hold the ship lower a boat but we were already approaching the site in 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 blows 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 one was supposed to bayeux it is in that situation or not but of course i'm

a captain of one ship he is a captain of another ship and 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 if it didn't rise herself and had been the captain of the other ship and you were a town that should move on and your help was of no here is what would you to. but i can't imagine myself a 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 saw people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much.

you know we played two rescue teams this weekend and they're so young and they're. no less russia could do well to take a leaf out of china's book the sport doesn't have a long tradition in even country however china just like in practically every sport have made fantastic strides and the two thousand and eight beijing bronze medalist explained why. that turned out and all that happened that man if you don't know what a business model. who and young jeezy couldn't make it all the way to the final but they were played italian pair of mini gotti and chicha lardy of a bronze medal home the chinese would easily take the first sants they started in the second to regain their composure when it mattered most to take the decider and seal first place. however the main event of the day saw the reigning world champions lady's turn giuliana from brazil take on the currently big gold medalist misty may and kerri walsh of the u.s. saying the american jew have been in the best performance here but they hit back

to reveal where the remaining bodies that haven't been found yet are and hopefully provide the answer as to why this ship sank and sank so fast at the moment a dive platform a few kilometers into the river behind me boats keep ferrying for a foot from the base camp here taking divers and crews out to that platform where two huge cranes have been brought up from volgograd further downstream down the river and those cranes have now been used to attach cables to enormous cables around the bottom of the sunken bowl garia now the complications that there are with lifting the ship are all pretty much due to things that happened in those few disastrous minutes last sunday and the first is that the ship when it when it sank and then fell to the bottom it fell on to its left side which mean it means that there could be bodies trapped underneath the left side of that ship and it's also going to need to be.
