Italy - Damning tape of cruise ship's captain Francesco Schettino

http://www.euronews.net/ As the captain of the stricken Costa Concordia Francesco Schettino was appearing in court, and the death toll rose to 11, a recording emerged purporting to show heated radio exchanges between him and the harbour master.

The Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera published the tape saying it was made after Francesco Schettini had left the vessel.

In it the harbour master tells the captain to get back on board and coordinate the rescue from there.

Schettino says he is in a lifeboat.
