You seem to have edited out part of the entry: In 1996, Allègre opposed the removal of carcinogenic asbestos from the Jussieu university campus in Paris, describing it as harmless and dismissing concerns about it as a form of "psychosis created by leftists".[6] The campus' asbestos is deemed[by whom?] to have killed 22 people and caused serious health problems in 130 others.[7] Who deemed it? Snoopy? God? Steve Jobs?

We can suppose anything..

We don't have to suppose the Captain steered the ship off-course causing the crash that killed some passengers, and then proceeded to order some dinner instead of calling for evacuation, and then when learning the ship really was in danger, bailing out and leaving the passengers to fend for themselves. Hell, the crew had been telling people to return to their cabins for sometime before the evacuation started.

We're falling into the same 21st century trap that the media has created and oversold - quick to judge and quicker to forget.

The media has nothing to do with it. This guy is an incompetent fool who killed passengers by steering the ship into this disaster on purpose(and totally off course) and left lots of them to their own devices to save his own neck. He's can't be the fall guy if he actually committed the crime.

The guy crashed an ocean liner, any excuse/reason is going to be pathetic. Remember the guy is just working a job like the rest of us and most likely for the same selfish reasons so cut him some slack. The captain was right, it's dark with the ship in a dangerous position and him being possibly compromised(drunk, etc) it could be sending him to his death and could be viewed as the guard captain attempting to murder him. Being part of the incident, potentially compromised, in his condition he would have been a little help anyway. I doubt willingly getting killed is part of the job description regardless of what public perception says. Telling him to go back was just plain irresponsible and stupid.

No, that is actually what they are supposed to do BY LAW. And the Captain murdered those people just as if he put a gun to their head and pulled the trigger by changing the course of the ship and coming too close to land like that. Unreal that you would defend a piece of sh!t like that . You're pathetic.
