tragedy. yes we were the first to help we were sailing in the same direction as the bulgarian to be picked up on the radio just bits of conversations between some ships we couldn't make out what the ships were what we heard them talk of seeing people overboard and speculating that it looked like a boat or a small ship capsized once we heard that we put on more speed to get there faster but we did arrive at the tragedy site we saw terrible things and only when we realized that it was a pleasure area that it sunk to the true scope of the disaster strike us. how long did it take to get to the same. 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 people from among the floating debris it was truly

a tragic picture that we saw what condition where these people aim where they panic stricken sang. 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 but what happened is quite horrible my crew members who were involved in rescue works deeply involved to some people were in a dreadful condition many were injured they had all all over their skin because when the ship sank the fuel 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 and occupation that was particularly heartbreaking. and probably it was very hard on survivors. 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 lose their close and loved ones and yes indeed it was very hard for both on the

survivors and on us too we all felt very deeply for them. rights and i was just ask you how your crew were coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful or was there a double what we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading of course it was told to keep 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 help should 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 with 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 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 about what happened but the arabella was packed to full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes by you these lads were 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. that the people who survived the ship practically journalists that when they found themselves in the water and the boat sank they were instantly pope and of what's next after the rock and then popped out to the surface again one observer sat he thought it looked as though the same thing broke from the sort of funnel that put everything in what happens in reality. more than that 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 for all pool of construct people live with other people who were afloat when the ship sank most of found enormous 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 i would go to a park they've been the one for the fight pick them up at the podium and 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 stress. there are a few theories of how this tragedy could have happened and one of them sass about how tightly all the facts saw the bulgarians out some time before the scene came to see you. you see not all technical the facts can be seen from outside experts say that the crews are listed to one sizable i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not a lady with ships of this tight i've never worked on that design group of young put

it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser i see again and 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 like your eye witnesses francis crick to focus it to the right even when it was dark so listening was visible when i'm not sure it was brazil because i wasn't there and i want to ask you this question as a true but then we go to you i told you just now that the post was listing but i can't tell you how critical it was to the ship. did you happen to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking if they considered the possibility that something might happen to tell you about it that's a must. when the arabella dr bull got with it was one of the plans stops but we occupied the second birth of the bulgaria was tied to the first one they were leaving in eleven o'clock and we stayed till thirteen hundred hours. and they were

sailing off we had to maneuver in order to let the boat as you continue its cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore on the spot of the former captain of the boat and the current second mate of the bulgaria to me of nozzle of in the center of the main deck he had worked with the area from the very beginning back in the times when she was called ukraine he was the captain of the ukraine good old age prevented him from remaining in charge because it is an exhausting post the captain works very hard and it's too charming for an old man he realized this and decided to step down to the next 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 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 with but the most memorable thing he told me one that stuck in my mind was point he said if you don't want to sail this year i don't know

i 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's right sadly he is gone or his body was recovered and identified it's such a pity he was a good man and a true captain such a pity but 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 like two or three maybe five minutes to sink and that really is a very short time but 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 or right so part of talk about. that is many claim passed the ball carrier that they

were just passed by the start to the see what was going on a credit package given that 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 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. oh god no but we were there and the ship's presence at that spot could be counterproductive and hazardous for the people who are in the water and below the surface which rules or 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 a lot faster than this other ship could have because of that moment there was just

so little time for both. of us 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 a sign that you don't want to blame enron but at that moment it was already too late he should have reacted very their work with he would have to hold the ship lower a boat we were already approaching the site in our ship and i said i already have 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 stop his ship and lower a boat i wouldn't rule out actually i was just assessing the situation

realistically i thought moment and i think or that there was no use for his boat there at the time you see what was supposed to play out is in that situation or not of course not i'm the captain of one ship he's 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 had been rice herself and had been the captain of the other ship and you return i should move on and your help was of no here's what would you did. but i 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. i would do if i were in his shoes at the moment but if i had seen old and 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.
