'Divine hand' guided Costa Concordia captain Francesco Schettino

[GeorgeGist]

As the ship was about to hit rocks off the Italian coast "a divine hand surely touched my head," Captain Francesco Schettino said in a letter to his lawyers which was published by Italian media yesterday.

"If I had continued on that path the ship's prow would have hit the rock. It would have been carnage," he said.

Capt Schettino's comments came after Italian judges released him from house arrest but said he must not leave his home town while his trial continues.

"Captain Francesco Schettino is no longer under house arrest, but must stay in his home town" near Naples,said his lawyer Paolo Bastianini.
