- He was the captain of the Costa Concordia cruise ship which hit a reef off the Italian coast and run aground in January 2012. 32 people lost their lives.
- In February 2015, he was found guilty of multiple manslaughter, causing a shipwreck and abandoning a ship ahead of his passengers.
- The passengers were rushing all over the decks trying to scramble into the lifeboats. I didn't even have a life jacket because I had given it to one of the passengers - I was trying to get them into the lifeboats in an orderly fashion. All of a sudden the boat listed between 60-70 degrees. I tripped and ended up in one of the lifeboats. That's why I was in there.
