    Sure, he saved all those lives by his heroic actions. BUT his stupidity and hotdoging attitude, over riding the computers that were pre programed with a safe route just to show off cost him the ship + many lives of people on board.

    NBC News and news services report:

    "Have you seen 'Titanic?' That's exactly what it was," said Valerie Ananias, 31, a schoolteacher from Los Angeles who was traveling with her sister and parents on the first of two cruises around the Mediterranean.

    They all had dark red bruises on their knees from the desperate crawl they endured along hallways and stairwells that were nearly vertical, trying to reach rescue boats.

    "We were crawling up a hallway, in the dark, with only the light from the life vest strobe flashing," her mother, Georgia Ananias, 61, said. "We could hear plates and dishes crashing, people slamming against walls."
