“I have nothing to rimproverami. Safety procedures have all been met. When the fire broke out, I triggered alarm in the time and manner provided for by regulation. ‘ Argilio Giacomazzi, the commander of the Norman Atlantic, soon after his discharge from the ship San Giorgio in Brindisi was brought to the harbor master of Bari, where he was heard by the second of the night at 7 this morning.
A marathon which the Attorney Cardinals wanted to reconstruct, hour by hour, what has happened on the ferry. Giacomazzi is under investigation for manslaughter shipwreck, multiple manslaughter and negligent injury serious. Why, asked the judge, many castaways claim not to have heard the alarm? Giacomazzi responded with pique every question, arguing that, as far as possible in such a dramatic situation, the emergency measures have worked. “From the moment we realized at the time of the fire in which it was given the alarm has passed a handful of minutes – said the captain Giacomazzi – I think that the survivors have heard the alarm.”
The testimonies of many passengers, however, are very critical on the organization of emergency management on board the Norman Atlantic. Tonight on San Giorgio, before landing, were heard dozens of them by the judge of Bari. The interrogations but are continuing even now, in the lobby of the hotel where they were accommodated travelers in Brindisi covered by snow.
The police in Brindisi, as delegated by the prosecutor in Bari, have collected the statements not only about what happened inside the ferry, but also upon boarding on checks of documents. Many survivors have told the police: the alarm was not heard, the distribution of life jackets was chaotic, we almost died for the disorganization.
