where this paper where they panic stricken where they sang. 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 is 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 a 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 hold to pull them on board seeing children in that condition it was particularly heartbreaking. and cowardly it was very hard on survivors panel in and this is a tragedy that as far as i know although it may be wrong 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 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 was that another one 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 a 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 what helped to do that was there anything particular that helped. him 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 lesson about 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 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 because i thought. 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 in simply put under that water that's the rock and then popped 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 i did 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 wolf 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 in the water for long before i picked them up for months about him 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 for a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them sas the boat had attacked all the facts and saw the bulgarian dock sometime before the sinking it's not a factor to you. you see not all technical defects can be seen from the outside experts say that the crews are listed to one side a book which i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not familiar with ships of this type but i've never worked on that design of the young but it listed up. 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 on your i with mrs francis out of both listened to the ride even when it was dark approach to listening was visible when i'm not sure it was really so because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question is it 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 what we did you happened to talk with the crew of the bill garrett before the boat sailed what were they thinking if they consider the possibility that something might happen to the tank about it that's unless they affected us aboard the 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 to 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 in spite 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 deck if 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 man but he realized this and decided to step down into the maze 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 nasr of 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 and seen from the way you're attacking this story is 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 shape 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 a raft in the meantime with a strong lurch like that will break up some have 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 that as many claim passed the bulgaria or did they were just passed by the stop to the saying what was going on because in

a package cabin i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel 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 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 dot anyway 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 have put us in that situation it was paramount that we avoided konica 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. russians both do you have radical with us yes but we had contact but

we just exchanged a few phrases i merely told her card to 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 a dark 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 would move 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 like 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 if it didn't rise herself and had been the captain of the other ship and you were told it 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.

a lack of russians battling it out for medals has unfortunately become an all too familiar occurrence this year was to prove no exception and time is running out of the london olympics to get underway in just a year's time however the reigning olympic champions misty may in kerry walsh are optimistic that russia could start to improve soon i was here last summer and they actually have a good kids program you know development program and they're just they're catching up to the rest of the world but indoor is their no big thing so there is a developmental program in the works and they are bringing players that may just take you know it's take a little time but there are some good young tools and their development you can see you know we played two russian teams this weekend and they're so young and they're good nevertheless 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 i'll have that benefit myself with a business model. who and john g. couldn't make it all the way to the final but they would play the italian pair of mini gotti and she chalabi the bronze medal home. the chinese would easily take the first chance they started in the second to regain their composure when it mattered most to get signed and sealed first place. however the main event of the days of the reigning world champions maybe cern giuliana from brazil take on the currently big gold medalist misty may and carrie walsh of the u.s. saying. the american jew have been in the best of form this year but the hit back brilliantly to seal the one sided much in straight sets and gain a much needed confidence boost for the london olympics just round the corner i think that's what's driving us right now you know and i know i think about it every

a dive platform a few kilometers into the river behind me boats keep ferrying effort from the base camp here taking divers and crews out to that platform where to 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 meant means that there could be bodies trapped underneath the left side of that ship and it's also going to need to be righted so it's it's on an even keel before they can lift it as far as on a little on the first stage is about fastening the pulling cords then we stabilize the kewl after that we raise the ship and finally we try.
