But that is nothing more than human error. It's not like he was trying to travel as close as possible to the iceberg to show off for his buddy on facebook. At that time they believed that ship was unsinkable so there was no reason not to continue it's travels through the fog.

Even with the errors this captain made in Italy I could live with, even though people died, but the fact he bailed off the ship and didn't want to attempt to help people makes me sick. From the stories told of the Titanic not only did the captain go down with the ship but he also made sure women and children were the first off.

I think this is just one of those things where the captain of this boat enjoyed the lime light of being a captain but when his real duties faced him he pussied out, for a lack of a better term. People in general are more selfish, this is just another example of that.
