. >> mitchell, the costa concordia happened when? >> january 12th, 2012. >> you would think that would be a cautionary tale for the maritime industry, but you see striking parallels. >> even the search and rescue operation that is being described right now is eerily similar, when the costa concordia sank, you had the family members wondering what happened to their relatives. and divers going in with the ropes, they called it the thread after the mythological character, and the divers that are saving people, rescuing people, at the worse case scenario finding drowning victims swimming in bathing suits. in this instance, you're finding people wearing life jackets because they were prepared to get off ship and never got off the ship, because of errors, made by the crew and captain and the life boats that failed to launch. with the costa concordia, very similar. the ship began to list. what happens, when a ship begins to list, there are inclines, the life boats that are supposed to drop down can't drop down because they get stuck on the

the "costa concordia" was not fully submerged.ivers -- there were 32 casualties which i shouldn't say only but compared to this incident fewer casualties. the similarities are that any time a diver goes into a wreck underwater, you've got to understand that absolutely everything has come apart. the furniture, the wall coverings, the ceiling panels, wiring comes down. it's an absolute choked maze. that's similar between the two. there's an incident that happened in 2008 in the philippines, it was also a ferry, the princess of the stars, and in that incident over 800 people were lost that we were involved intimately involved in that incident. in that incident i will tell you that these divers -- you have to actually be very careful to sort of restrain them because they become so emotionally involved in what they're doing they're willing to risk themselves to recover these victims. >> i'm sure. deeply committed to their jobs. captain, quickly, what's the point when you shift from trying to recover bodies to a salvage operation for th

there's a parallel here to the costa concordia which is strikingly similar to this.nally accepted rule that the captain, because he or she is the master and the person who is supposed to supervise everything, that person is supposed to stay on the vessel and make sure everyone is off safely. >> obviously the investigation is under way as rescue efforts continue. what sorts of things are they looking for right now do you suppose? >> well, right now the -- what everyone is hoping for, of course, is that there are air pockets within the hull of the vessel. it is possible because the vessel did capsize very quickly, and it is possible that there are air pockets. this was a car carrier, a ro-ro, roll on, roll off, as well as a passenger vessel. it took on water very quickly probably because of that. so there is a less likelihood, i would think, with a ro-ro type vessel, a car ferry-type vessel, that there are substantial air pockets. but this is a large vessel and undoubtedly there are air pockets here and there. that's what they're hoping for. that's what they're going t

>> we saw the costa concordia, you remember, the captain, he fled, while others were still stuck on thathip. in this particular case, the same thing. maybe one or two of those lifeboats were used. he got out okay. but so many others remained on the ship. there used to be a tradition, the captain is the last one to leave, right? >> yes. there is a tradition. in fact, it dates back to the 1850s with a particular incident where the captain and his crew assisted women and children off and then the captain and crew went down with the vessel. but it's more than just romantic lore. because, you know, the captain is the master of the vessel. under any international convention and understanding, the captain is the master and in charge of the safety of every passenger, either crew enin, the cargo and vessel itself. how can the captain supervise and be in charge of the safety at a critical time, at a critical time, if he, the captain, not on that vessel? he has to be on that vessel and should have been in this situation. you bring up a very good point about the costa concordia, a lot of parallels t

to those two failures we also have seen a failure in the lifeboats in the "titanic," in the "costa concordiahere in the sewol they didn't have lifeboats they had life rafts and only two of the 46 on board were deployed. >> later one of the witnesses said the captain order they release the lifeboat, they tried but because of the angle of the ship they couldn't get to it. is this the best system for lifeboat deployment? this is a 20-year-old ship. i look at that footage and i see the guy kind of going over there to that stack of lifeboats. isn't there a design that would fire these things automatically? >> there isn't. if you look at similar sized ferry passenger vessels what we call roll pack, roll on, roll off operating in the baltic, for example, you have lifeboats which are ready for people to get into and then have them lowered into the water and life rafts which have to be manually deployed, thrown into the water and passengers and crew would have to swim to them in order to get on board. in the case of the korean ferry there were only life rafts. because of the delay by the captain to o

and in this case we know that as a consequence of the costa concordia. she left port and was not obliged to give a safety report, a briefing, where to find the life preserver, within 24 hours until the departure of the port. and now, you now must give a safety briefing prior to the vessel departing or as she is departing. but here is the thing, that doesn't go into effect until 2015. and that is very little help to the people who lost their lives on the sewol. >> we'll take a quick break, let us know what you think. just saying the remotely operated vehicles making their way through the ferry looking for anybody underneath, so far finding only bodies. also tonight, the big changes that could be coming perhaps in a matter of hours. the search for flight 370. constipated? .yea dulcolax tablets can cause cramps but not phillips. it has magnesium and works more naturally than stimulant laxatives. for gentle cramp free relief of occasional constipation that works! mmm mmm live the regular life. i'm on expert on softball. and tea parties. i'll have more awkwar

so my question would be we did have an actual event, the costa concordia. ons were with your simulations? did it meet or exceed the expectations in the simulation, or were there problems? and i know that you all aren't involved directly, but from what you know and what your roles in the industry are, have you made changes based on what came out in the costa? >> yeah. as we heard yesterday, there were some operational things a little bit wrong, went wrong. not only the navigation after colliding processes, but we did not simulate this vessel, so i cannot say anything on how the performance of this vessel was simulated, and we did not run the simulation after that incident. we don't have information where the people were located, how many were distributed onboard, so that is hard to simulate something that you do not know a lot of. >> captain zini? >> ms. chairman, thank you. maybe i can approach the same question from the side of a captain onboard the ship. being in many buildings and seeing simulations taking place, i can see -- [inaudible] onboard as conseq

much questions from this, and perhaps something learned from this like there was with with the costa concordia, why they were told to stay onboard. >> it just gives you chills. >> just ahead, new developments in kansas city, where police have been investigating a string of highway shootings, plus, land dispute, a nevada ranchser in a decades long stand off with the federal government over where his cattle graze. and five days in detroit, we meet a restaurant owner trying to bring others back to the struggling city. they have said they have a suspect in custody. >> do we have any idea how they captured this guy? >> well, since they released very little in order we do know by linking the 12 with together. that is where they were building it from. much of the information would be coming from the slugs that were found and recovered from these cars that were shot at, and they could do a test on those, that may help determine whether they were linked or not. which is why it is not clear whether they have been linked yet, sometimes they weren't able to find bullets but they could continue tolize. but

and a couple of years after the costa concordia case and a captain leaving the ship you think so mucherage of situations like this their first reaction is react quickly' get people into the life boats. do you find it amazing particularly south korea is a major industrialized nation. do you find it surprising that it didn't have, you know, those kind of reactions in place? >> well, you know, korea builds 30% of the ships in the world and only behind china. they are a big maritime country. this is the 100th ferry accident we have had in the last 12 years. the disconnect for me is we have the training and the drills but what people know to do in emergency and what they actually do in emergency are different just like the "concordia" and with this accident. so every captain in the world is saying, i would have done something different, but in that situation that is how that crew behaved. i think what needs to happy really is we have to start paying attention to not just what the drills are but how the people react in an emergency and it's an entirely different set of training rules. >> on

you were representing, of the costa concordia. >> there are a lot of parallels between the concordia and the sewol. the scenario plays out quite similarly, unfortunately. two large passenger vessels leaving at night, sailing at night, both of which veer from their accepted route. and something happens. something disastrous happens. and in the case of the rocks. in the case of the sewol it made a sharp turn and there was probably something in the stow, that is, the cargo on board, shifted and caused an instability, and a list. and in both ships they have a severe list. then, and incredibly, miscommunication. in the sewol you have a captain who is delaying communication, and then according to the captain, there is a wraik i -- break in the communication and he does not try to breach that by other means. and then of course, the biggest comparison here is the fact that both captains got off the vessel before the safety of the passengers was secured. so that's a very distinct parallel. >> right. and the thing that we of course as laymen always hear is that the captain must go down with th

our viewers are going to think back to the costa concordia, and the captain abandoning ship. make about this news, about the captain? >> well, the captain has the responsibility for the safety of the ship, the cargo, the crew and the passengers. and that doesn't end in an emergency. i think that we heard some reports that he told people to stay in place. and actually in the beginning of an emergency on a ship, the best place to be is on the ship. but when he realized the stability of his ship was compromised that is when he should have gone into an abandoned ship mode. and it is just questionable whether that transmission was made very well. >> thank you very much, we appreciate your time. >>> i want to check with anderson cooper on what is coming up on "ac360," i know you're going to be talking about the ferry. >> yes, that is correct, we'll talk about ferry off the coast of south korea, you mentioned the possibility of air pockets off the ship. we're going to speak with a rescue diver, butch hendrick. how are the survivors located and reached in time? could anyone still be

there are basic lessons from the costa concordia. you have to look after the passenger.n. you can't abandon ship. and to see this happening in this circumstance reflects, i think, poorly on this -- not only this captain -- i mean, he has his hoodie on, looking down, he's disgraced. but the issues are broader and deeper than just pointing the finger at one person. you have to look at the ferry company itself, the marine company, what was their training, what was their safety culture, were there lifeboat drills, were there muster drills? were these children -- >> and that's generally what happened -- that generally would happen before a ship were to set sail, right? >> right. >> some kind of drill, so everyone knows what to do. the captain said he was in his bedroom, and he didn't order the evacuation because he feared without some kind of rescue boats, some of the passengers in their life vests would drift away. so how do prosecutors use that to their advantage, or perhaps even in his defense, he expressed the sense of helplessness at that moment. is that a valid defense

the costa concordia trial is hearing what the captain said after the giant ship started to sink and hetic call to headquarters and blamed a senior official for ordering him to sale too close to the island and said he made a mess of things and destroyed and 32 people drown two years ago and he is on trial for the manslaughter and abandoning his ship. the spanish enclave in moroco is a place for people to get to africa and large numbers of people are trying to climb huge fences simply to get into there hoping eventually they can cross the mediterranean sea and we report. >> reporter: a gate way in the eu on the continent of africa. for years they received many migrants looking to reach europe for refuge and musa tried to get here and camped out on the mountain behind here. >> translator: we walked for two days down the mountain. then when we got closer we began to walk slowly towards the frontier until we managed to get through the border. >> reporter: this is the fence that musa climbed over to get here and it's 11 kilometers long topped with bashed wire and enforced with ex troo railin

you know, this is like the costa concordia where there were mixed signals.whether it's from the captain were to stay in place, as it was here, as the message was here. you are talking to teenagers, a lot of teenagers who some of them, a lot of them, most of them, obeyed those instructions. that was, as we see here, that was the wrong message to send. he should have been, the captain should have been, a, assess the damage immediately and b, get people to the muster stations. that's why we have these drills, to get people to the stations to muster them or gather them so they can be put into the lifeboats and safely off the side of the vessel. >> he wasn't at the helm. he left the ship and he gave awful instructions at the end of the day that turn out to be fatal for so many of these families. what's his defense going to be? >> well, his defense is going to be that, you know, gee, there was nothing i could have done at the helm of the vessel. that doesn't really bother me, the fact that the captain is not at the helm, unless, of course, again, unless it was a c

. >> you mentioned the "costa concordia" in italy. we covered that one extensively.ess certain life boat s because that was th side that was listing. what do you think of people were told to don their jackets and jump into the water? >> well, it could be one of two things. one that they didn't have any life boats or rather life rafts. they wouldn't have life boats on a ship -- a short haul ship. most likely they lad life rafts. whatever happened happened quickly which makes me think they hit something that had an actual tear or hole in the boat or these big doors had failed and water was coming in quickly because to tell people to abandon ship, they had to fear the ship would go down so fast the people stayed on would be sucked down with the ship and would drawn. it appears since so many people are missing and they're not floating in the water that that's what may have happened. in other words, it's going down so fast and the water is sucking in that you can't fight your way out. that's why they might have told them to abandon ship. >> mary, thank you. again in the i

as unique as it seemed at the time, we're hearing echoes of the costa concordia, the italian ship.know here if this hit anything. issues with captain, issues with attention at the helm and what was done when. captain staples, thank you very much for the information this morning. kate? >> let's get now to the latest on the search for flight 370. malaysian officials are now looking to put more equipment possibly in the water to aid the search. they're hoping more unmanned subs can help, of course, find the plane. the bluefin-21 is in the water right now, but hasn't yet found anything from the plane. let's bring in our two ex-poerts to talk about the latest. david gallo, cnn analyst, former co-director of the search for air france flight 447 and also david soucie, he is a cnn safety analyst and former faa inspector. david gallo, let's start with that latest point, that malaysian authorities now say they are open to exploring the idea of bringing in more underwater vehicles. how would that change the game beyond the obvious when you say more resources mean you can cover a bigger area?
