come to the rescue of the sinking cruise ship bulgaria 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 bulgarian and we picked up on the radio just bits of conversations between some ships we couldn't make 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 had capsized once we heard that we put on more speed to get there faster and we did arrive at the tragedy site we saw terrible things and only when we realized that it was the pleasure garia that it sunk to the true scope of the disaster strike us. how long did it take it to get the same. i would say about five to ten minutes fifteen at most from the moment we heard the radio talk but 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

people from among the floating debris it was truly a tragic picture that we saw what condition where this paper aim or the panic stricken what a song. when we got them on board we had so much to deal with of course they were kind of stricken they really deep shock what happened was quite horrible my 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 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 that condition was particularly heartbreaking. and calgary it was very hard on survivors. lost family members of 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 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. bright and early just that saskia area crew were coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful was there at that moment 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 that's how the sentences have and what helped you 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 cam and it happened just as we approached the wreck site that short moment of camelot is to pull people onboard 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 after 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 do passengers were on board at that time and how did they react. to what the arabella was packed full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes are you this allowed were deliberately they helped a lot they can solve the injuries and they were doctors and on the tourist on the arabella they assisted the ship's medic is he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors but 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 sank they were instantly put under that water that's the rock and then popped out to the surface again one observer sat and thought it looked as though the sinking boat from the sort of funnel had put everything in

what happens in reality. more than that thank you for that of course a sinking boat can pull objects floating on the surface onto the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the water it will 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 had they been the one before you picked them up. 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 it's just. there are a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and while contrasts both attack on the facts and saw the bulgarian talk sometime before the sinking it's not a factor to you. you see normal technical defects can be seen from outside experts say that the crews are listed to one side i don't know how dangerous this was for

the passengers because i'm not familiar with sheets of this type i've never worked on the design of a young 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 if it is very difficult to tell if you don't know the particulars on your eyewitnesses francis had both listened to the right even when it first arc at rockport so the listing was visible i'm not sure it was personal because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question is it true but i'm going to tell you i told you just now that the boat was listing but i can't tell you how critical it was to the ship. we did you happen to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking that they considered the possibility that something might happen i did tell you about it that unless they had across the border when the arabella doctor got with it was one of the planned stop spreading we don't you talk to second birth all the bulgaria was tied to the first one they were leaving in 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 which cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore and sort of the former captain of the boat and the current second mate of the bulgaria to be a nozzle of in the center of the named 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 aldridge prevented him from remaining in charge because it is an exhausting post but captain works very hard and it's too tiring for an old man he realized this and decided to step down to the major position because it is easier and better for the older man 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 his 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 point 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 greater italian this story is no longer alive that was a hoax ring 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 of the witnesses i mean survivors and 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 you know who they still say you 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 a raft in the meantime with a strong lurch like a bracelet some have and not suggested 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 to get as many claim passed the bulgaria did they were just caused by wanting to stop at the scene what was going on. in a package cabin and i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel a heavy duty togo to the 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 but i can't say whether they saw it at all leadership but by the time they decided to hold and come to the rescue we were already there but 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 and. so at that moment we were there in 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 would put us in that situation it was paramount that we avoided panic and assess the situation but 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 a lot faster than this ownership could have because at that moment there was just so little time for both of us and both of you have got it contact with us yes 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 about moments 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 it's then that you don't want to blame enron but at that moment it was already too late he should have predicted earlier with he would have to host the ship lower of those who 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 people from the water once again i'm not trying to accuse him of i go to know his vessels mass and inertia characteristics maybe he needed much more time to stop his ship and lower of those i wouldn't rule out actually i was

just assessing the situation realistically i thought moment and i figured that there was no use for his both there at the time you see what was supposed to be a zero it is in that situation or not of course not i'm a carton 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 it had been rice herself and had been the captain of the other ship and you return it should move on and you're how was it for his overjoyed to. have thought oh 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 sold people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much.
