Question about Captain Francesco Schettino...?

After reading the conversation between him and Capt. Gregorio De Falco of the Italian coast guard in Livorno. I came to this conclusion that either Captain F. Schettino is totally irresponsible and should not be a captain in the first place OR He planned this event because now he has entered into history books. He is immortal now. 100 years ago the Titanic sank..... and we read about this event. I am sure that in 100 years time not only they will be talking about the Titanic but also about the Costa Concordia. What Do you think about this Captain behaviour. The conversation reminds me one episode of MR BEAN. Please I want to know what other people think about his personality.. thank you
