Was the captain Greek? He sure was in a hurry to get off before the other guy. There's really no context to the video so you don't know if he just got gas, maybe just got it back from being serviced. I mentioned elsewhere that I always lift the hatch to look around, run the blower and after they start I look around again. That explosion shi! scares me a lot.

Well this is awkward.....I was thought the captain that abandoned the cruise ship Costa Concordia in 2012 was Greek and it turns out he was Italian. My apologizes to all Greeks and I suppose to the Italians too. I knew I should have gone with the George Costanza reference.
