when we got them on board we had so much to deal with of course they were planning 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 that condition it was particularly heartbreaking. and probably it was very hard on survivors pattern and this is a tragedy at this point 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 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 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 what helped to do that was there anything in 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 significant. really 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 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 days and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors but it was very important. you know with 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 after 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 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 wolf whirlpool that can suck

people live about it but people who were afloat when the ship sank most of 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 but i want to party and 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 the boat had tack around the facts you 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 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 that design group of young but it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser. 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 you know they're eyewitnesses francis out of both listened to the right even when it was dark so the 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 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 happened to talk with the crew of the bulgaria before the boat sailed what were they thinking if they consider the possibility that something might happen to tell you about it that's unless they affected us with when the arabella dr bull got in with it was one of the planned stops better we'll keep out 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 lie 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 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 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 nozzle are you 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 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. and i see him

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 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 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 but i suspect that as talk about their services that as many claim passed the bulgaria or did they were just passed by the stop to the scene what was going on but had in

a package cabin 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 of 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 i don't know maybe it was because of the ships 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 would 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 for both of us as both do you have brought it contact with them just as. well 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 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 of 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 what was supposed to be a orders in that situation or not but of course not i'm

a captain of one ship he is a captain of another ship i 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 if you'd been wise person and had been the captain of the other ship and you were told it should move on and your help was of no here's where we're due 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. first a creature in the world called clear cutting. second explosives are used to

can probably see the tops of two enormous cranes that have been brought up from further downstream and they're attached to them or is it an enormous cable that goes down and is threaded underneath the ship and that cable is going to be used first of all at the moment divers and the crane teams are in the process of trying to write the bulgaria it was leaned on its left side and then once they've righted it they'll be able to start to lift it up a lot of the complications that divers are facing are due to the way under speed that the ship sank. firstly the fact that it's on its left side will mean that divers will have to go under that left side as it's righted first of all to check that the ship is structurally sound to be right to be raised and also to try and look for some of the fifteen bodies which have still to be accounted for which still haven't been found then once they start to raise the ship divers are going to have to first of all try and find essentially the hole that let in all the water and unsung.
