take on the underwear wearing coward

We haven't delved in the Korean Ferry accident, mainly because there just isn't anything we can add.  It's such an absolutely awful situation and we really haven't had the stomach to give our TOR slant...until today

When I saw the video of the captain fleeing the sinking ferry, I felt sick to my stomach.. mainly because I know that there are hundreds of high-school kids trapped in that boat as this guy gets off but also because he's getting off wearing only his underwear..   The level of ineptitude when it comes to this situation has to be unprecedented with every single member of the crew having now been indicted for abandoning the ship which is a Korean federal offense. 

but what is maybe most striking is that the captain is seen coming off the boat as an entire high-school class is trapped inside, wearing only his underwear.  I'm trying to come up with any reason why  a captain of a commercial boat should ever be in his underwear and I think it's pretty obvious...  This guy was almost certainly sticking his little Bibimbap into some  foul smelling Kimchee instead of manning the boat which probably caused this horrific accident in the first place
