In August, a criminology professor at Rome's La Sapienza University
arranged a two-hour guest lecture on "emergency practices" by an
"experienced" hand -- Francesco Schettino, the captain currently on
trial in Italy for his role in the sinking of the cruise ship Costa
Concordia in 2012, when 32 people died. Said the captain: "I was called
to speak because I am an expert. ... I know what to do in these sorts of
situations." (Schettino will have to refute alleged evidence that "what
to do" included running straight for the nearest lifeboat.) [Associated

my dad still laughs at this incident... how the guy on the radio was ordering him back to the ship... tossing in a few words that only italian speakers use.
well, it *is* a criminology course, and the guest lecturer is an expert in criminal behavior...
