Until an official report is issued, it is hard to establish any sort of time line, or determine actions taken on the bridge. Lots of talk from people who want their two minutes of exposure in the media, but nothing (as it should be) from those in the chain of command. Crew members who have talked were not in the chain of command (only a couple at the bottom end dealing with the lifeboats).

The Costa management wants to deflect suits, but immediately throwing blame onto the captain also seems wrong to me.
