There's always two sides of the story. Would be interested to see an impartial, third-party account, the Captain's account and compare all three.
If this lady's account was exact, it's pretty shocking though. I doubt her story is perfectly accurate, but if it was, I'd expect there to be some sort of disciplinary action taken against the Captain, eh?

If he makes the wrong decision, he's held accountable for it, right?
I really hope he's in the right, and honestly this is probably just a story to drum up response, readership and reaction.
