Italy: God only made me wreck boat and kill 32 people, not 4000, says captain

“What? Didn’t they get My memo about travelling on the starboard side?”

And they were right bastards, anyway.

THE captain of the Costa Concordia has said a “divine hand” guided him on the doomed cruise ship, as he was released from house arrest.

As the ship was about to hit rocks off the Italian coast “a divine hand surely touched my head,” Captain Francesco Schettino said in a letter to his lawyers which was published by Italian media yesterday.

“If I had continued on that path the ship’s prow would have hit the rock. It would have been carnage,” he said.

Six people, including three living close to the Olympic site and a former police community support officer, have been arrested over a suspected terrorist plot.

The alleged plan involved Islamist extremists with potential targets in the UK, but was not linked to the Olympics, it is understood.
