I can understand why he feels ashamed, he told the kids to stay where they were and they didnt have a chance to get out.
Yeah, but the captain managed to get himself on the only deployed life boat. I know half of the lifeboats were under water, but why didn't he deploy the others and help the kids to safety instead of just looking out for himself? Reminds me of the Concordia disaster.
The vice principle that was rescued hung himself.

The captain will be charged.
