Cruise captain 'overrode' computer

The captain of the cruise ship that capsized off Tuscany made an unauthorized divertion from the ship’s computer-programmed course, his company said today.

The company that owns a cruise ship that crashed off Italy's Tuscan coast is blaming the captain for a disaster that killed at least six people.

Costa said the captain Francesco Schettino made an "unauthorised deviation" from the liner's course.
