Wow. Apparently he changed the course so he could cruise past the shore and honk the horn for a retired officer that lived on the water there, and also to impress the family of one of his crew. So it's because of showboating this happens... And then he hails a taxi while there are still passengers missing and in the water.

This is one of the biggest displays of cowardice and stupidity I can ever remember seeing in my life.
