The transcript discusses the Costa Concordia disaster, where Captain Francesco Schettino was labeled 'Captain Coward' for abandoning the ship during its sinking in 2012, resulting in 32 deaths. Schettino was sentenced to 16 years for involuntary manslaughter, ship abandonment, and environmental disaster. He is appealing the verdict, with his defense arguing that the accident was due to organizational failures, not solely his actions. The defense points to the cruise company, port authorities, and the ship's helmsman as responsible parties. Schettino has opted out of attending the hearings to avoid media exposure.
