Why did he drive the boat so close to land?

From what I've heard, and I have no idea if this is true - His girlfriend worked on the ship and he told her he would drive close enough to the shore that she could wave good bye to her parents. He then proceeded to slam the ship into the shore & in a panic tried to leave the harbor - but when his staff told him they were taking on water he turned back only to evacuate the ship before anyone else. When he spoke to the Coast guard from his rescue boat, He was all like: "Is everyone okay?" and they were all like: "What?!?! You're not on the ship? WE'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ASKING YOU IF EVERYONE IS OKAY!!" And he was all like: "Ships going down, my ass is getting off!" and the coast guard was all like: "GET YOUR ASS BACK ON THE SHIP, PEOPLE ARE DYING" and he was all like: "I thought you said you didn't know if people were hurt and stuff" and the CG was all like:"YOU'RE THE rough ridin' CAPTAIN, YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE THE LAST PERSON OFF THE SHIP bad person." and he was all like: "GTFOMF"

crap was crazy, I hope his GF was hot.

I remember a teacher showing that to us in science class at some point in my childhood. And how do you get embedded videos to work? If I quote your post verbatim in my own post it doesn't show up correctly.

The photo above showing a startling fireball appearing to rip apart the night sky was seen during a star observation session at Mount Pantokrator on the Greek island of Corfu. I had set my camera up to get a picture of our small group and before long this brilliant meteor lit up the surrounding landscape. It was approximately -8 magnitude or about 25 times brighter than Venus at its brightest -- so bright that we were bathed in a sea of blue-green light. You can see the reflection on my 16 in (41 cm) telescope, on the table at right-center and on the side of my car.

Well I just spent an hour plus playing around in this thread. It kept me from doing hw, but being that I'm currently in Physics and Chemistry classes. I think it all works out.
