WRONG ! Someone else would have seen a beacon and told the captain. If
he the captain was bent on suicide and continued to move the ship
toward the beacon, the second in command would most likely be
courageous enough to take control. I'm sure the second or third in
command is allowed to take control when superiors are grossly out of
their mind.Most captains respond and avoid *warning beacons. If not-
perhaps you can give us a specific example when one didn't respond.

In Italy no one questions the boss/leader (entire principal of Maffia)

If so, in Italy no one stops for a red light or responds to any
warning signal- like an approaching train ! Give us a break! If that
captain KNEW there was a big rock there, he never would have got near
it ! The reason why he didn't know is because it was not VISABLE. It
WOULD have been visable if there was a cheap tower on that rock with a
cheap strobe light on it- working! Certainly, SOMEONE would have seen
such a beacon approaching, including a passenger- and they would have
yelled and called the bridge. Unlike the Titanic which had poor
visability.
