were the first to help we were sailing in the same direction as the garia 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 realised that it was the pleasure gary of that it sunk to the true scope of the disaster strike us. how long did it take you to get to the scene. you know i mean 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 along the floating debris it was truly

a tragic picture that we saw what condition where this came quite a panic stricken brought 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 but how did you squash horrible my crew members who were involved in rescue works they got 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 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 and our condition was particularly heartbreaking. and calgary it was their hans a virus. fanon and this is a 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. and i was just better 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 of the goals 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 seven to seven one how to do that was there anything particular that helped. here you know i find it hard to say what helped us because after that storm there was a brief period of kaun and it happened just as we approached the wreck site but short moment of camelot is to pull people on board once the rescue operation was over and we went to investigate the back side again by 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 that 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 a lot of the arabella was packed to full capacity at the time one hundred fifty passengers they acted like heroes i used this loud word deliberately they helped a lot they consoled the injured and there were doctors among the tourists on the arabella basis of the ship's medic as he rendered first aid and they gave a lot of psychological support to survivors it was very important. that if people who survived the ship cracked all the journalists but when they found themselves in the water and the boats turned their instantly cold and of the water that's the rock and then popped up to the surface again one observer sat and thought it looked as though the sinking boat 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 onto the water because of the huge water displacement that churns the water into off whirlpool that can suck people live with it but the 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 for if we pick 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 going fast tracked down the facts and saw the bulgarian doc some time before the sinking in fact i'd say you know that if you see not all technical defects in the scene from outside experts say that the cruiser listed to one side to go i don't know how dangerous this was for the passengers because i'm not familiar with ships of this type i've

never worked or not designed with a figure and yet 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 if it is very difficult to tell if you don't know the particulars go there eyewitnesses francisca both listened to the ride even when it first started so the listing was visible i'm not sure it was worth so 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 over the thinking that they considered the possibility that something might happen and that's how you got it as i think. when the arabella dr bull got with it was one of the plan to stop the spread we occupied the second birth of the bulgaria was tied to the first one they were leaving at 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 out in continuous cruise when we berth in the morning i went ashore the start of the former captain of the boat in the current second nature of the bulgarian law to me of not a little of in the center of the name jack 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 which the captain works very hard and it's too tiring for an old man he realised this and decided to step down into the maze position because it is easier and better for the older man would you not want to leave the bulgaria ukraine. his mother shared and i approached him and we chatted a bit we shook hands and i asked him mr nasr of and you're tired of standing at your age and he told me with the 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 the most memorable thing he told me 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 but i see him from the way you're attacking this story he's no longer alive that was a hoax and 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 is it true that the ship sank really fast without us 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 what 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 or brace up somehow that and that suggests that 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 tabasco that as many claim

possible carrier that they were just caused by wanting to stop this saying what was going on were a book i did a package get in and i saw well good we were approaching the site of the tragedy practically simultaneously with one other vessel a heavy duty tow boat 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 site 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 if i don't know maybe it was because of the ship's mass characteristics and inertia maybe they had tried to start earlier than that and. 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 panic a disaster 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 other ship could have because at that moment there was just

so little time for both both of you have brought a contact with them. 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 health 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 he should have brackets earlier 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 boat afloat and advancing towards the site and his boat but could it too 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 elbows but i wouldn't rule that out i was just assessing the situation realistically about 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 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 and then write her star and be the captain of the other ship and you're a town that should move on and your help was happening here is overdue 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 were simply sold people overboard i swear i would have done the same as i did being on my ship thank you very much.

with the end of the boer war and the going away of the soviet union many people thought that nuclear weapons disappeared. the risk is not zero that something might be going off by mistake special it sounds a little nuclear weapons on hair trigger alert. but the significance to using a desert three it all as an echo of it but you know if you keep spending a trillion dollars a year on weapons of eventually you're going to blow everybody up you you know people are dying from these weapons but until we actually see it people don't make up nuclear weapons or a bill. that represents all of the firepower of the second world war this second sounds is the equivalent of firepower of the world's nuclear arsenal today.
