rescue of the sinking cruise ship gary how did you get to know about a tragedy. yes we were the first to help and we were sailing in the same direction as the bulgaria 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 but we did arrive at the tragedy site we saw terrible things and only when we realized that it was a pleasure gary and that it's on to the true scope of the disaster strike us for how long did it take you to get to the scene. 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 people aim for the panic stricken what read a song. 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 what happened is quite horrible my crew members who were involved in rescue works deeply involved to some people who 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 the holes to pull them on board seeing children in that condition it was particularly heartbreaking. and probably it was very hard on survivors. 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 is very hard for both on the survivors and on us to we all feel very deeply for them. right else just that saskia area crew were coping with it and how are they doing now it must have been hugely stressful it was that the goal was we couldn't afford to think about stress we had to do all we could to prevent panic spreading 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 it's how the seventy seven would help to do that was there anything 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 calm allowed us to pull people on board 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

well i already said that they performed in the past possible way but 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. 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 sold the insurers and there were doctors among the tourists on the arabella basis of the ships medic is he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors that was very important. thing with a lot of people who survived the ship cracked all the journalists that when they found themselves in the water and the boat sank the instant the code 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 a bit of that of course is sinking those can pull objects floating on the surface on the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the average 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 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 had they been the one before you pick them up about it i can't be precise about it 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 i want to contrast the boat attack on the facts i saw the bulgarian talk some time before the sinking. to see you know that you see not all technical defects can be seen from outside experts say that the cruiser listed to one side i don't know how dangerous this was

for the passengers because i'm not overly with ships of this type i've never worked on the design of the before and put it listed and everyone knows it as for the technical state of the cruiser i see 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 eyewitnesses francisca both listened to the right even when it was dark at rockport so listening 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 and what is 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 work we did happen to talk with the crew of the boat garrett before the boat sailed what were they thinking and they consider the possibility that something might happen to tell you about it let them without any progress with twenty arabella dr bull got them with it is one of the plans stops but we'll keep our the second berth a little gary was tied to the first one they were leaving in eleven o'clock and we stayed till thirteen hundred hours. when 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 and sort 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 name jack 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 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 maze 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 he's might have 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 but i don't know it just didn't feel like sailing this season and then this thing happened and i see him from the way you're attacking this story is no longer alive that was a hoax or that that's right sadly he is gone or his body was recovered and i can to fight it's such a pity that if 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 you know who 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 but it is difficult to lower any boats a raft in the meantime with a strong lurch like that or brace up somehow there 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 the potus talk about. that as many claim passed the bulgaria that they were just passed by right in to start at the same what was going on a credit a package i saw well we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel a heavy duty towboat and 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 are down but i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's mass characteristics and inertia maybe they had tried to stop earlier the national and. well 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 about 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

a lot faster than this other ship could have because at that moment there was just so little time for both of us and i think you had brought in contact with us yes we had contact but we just exchanged a few phrases you know 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 a big 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 it's then that you don't want to blame anyone but at that moment it was already too late heartbreaker there with he would have to host the ship and lower a boat but we were already approaching the site in our ship and i thought 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 and us and inertia characteristics maybe he needed much more time to stop his ship and no real close but i wouldn't

rule that out i was just assessing the situation realistically i thought moment and i figured that there was no use for his boat there at the time you see it was supposed to be a oh it is 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 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 cursor and had been the captain of the other ship and your return i should move on and your help was after his prerogative. 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's 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.

fourth edition of the tournament coming to an end in the russian capital on sunday evening they had to contend with a tarantula two and poor but held their nerve to seal victory and then for all in final i can't switch. once again that was the russian team insights as the men's competition reached the middle rounds heavy rain and unfolding in moscow since the early morning thing fleet of cleared by early afternoon the best crowd of the event great overcast skies to watch will be hoped would be some might call speech volleyball action. first open calls was the american jew of todd rogers and filled our house or we took on paying and who really need and warts was a rematch of last year's final. the pool was still damp after the heavy rain but this is pros and cons makes it hard to write bad yeah but you're a general there she said tennis much itself proved to be

a cracker of men's and swing back and forth between the pair is however it was a reigning olympic champions who held the nerve to take it in freewheeling third set tie a break and gain some revenge of a defeat in moscow to make sure these opponents last year it's in the middle of the season and then enter through so are usually well but this matter here was like the exact same match last year said we came in. i wish we could just switch it because last year called them back but fine also brazil's allison i'm going run you well taken patrick push and jeffersonville a guard of switzerland. however as soon as the team's takings were called the heavens opened just as they've been frightening to do for the last hour the south american jew we'd only been playing together for a couple of years to the first set comfortably but spring became stronger suit of the swiss is very level of a match and sent a gold medal game into a decider. the brazilian jewel looked down and now it is where opponents opened up

a six point lead however they hit back brilliantly to seal big jury who is the man you were going to say but weather conditions certainly didn't help i think they were a knicks you cold and myself and i can do some concentration in many points another think the ball slips slips more than regular it's hard to control but you know it's difficult for both teams but they are more evolved from rain three hundred four where they didn't manage to spoil what turned out to be an improving day of beach volleyball for the spectators who were thoroughly entertained and the tournament should be back in moscow next year so sport books to keep on developing in russia. will please r.t. . that is your sport where there is next he said. home
