Mou toe ki'i fakakaukau lelei pe ki he ongoongo ko'eni... pe koe usu pe... He 'oku 'ikai ke malolo 'ae kapiteni lolotonga e taufa na'e hoko ... he was well awake but underestimate the possible disaster poses by this wreck ship...

His decision making before the disaster is the most important aspect of this commission... He has experienced on his side but has not face such dilema before...I wasnt sure whether he was aware of the excessive corrosive of his ship... but who knows... The speculation that the captain slept is unfounded.....

Neu toki lau hifo e fakamo'oni ta ko Lotaki na'a ne pehe ne mohe 'a e kapiteni... since I know him well enough I wouldnt be speculating but therefore suggest that his story is unfounded...

But it obvious he could have done more to save his passengers and crews....

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Leo

The atmosphere is highly combustible today, with people getting in a stew over the smallest little thing. You will also have a tendency to get hot under the collar, especially if someone isn't doing things as quickly as you'd like. Try to stop yourself getting in a rage because once that happens it will be difficult to cool down again. Maybe you need some fresh air?
