Yeah that is horrible. I would definitely do what I could to save myself, but never do anything like this.
I read an article about this when that Italian ship went down. They don't expect you to give up your life just because you're the captain. But you are legally responsible for following the evacuation plan and getting off as many as you can before abandoning ship.
This guy though... Hundreds of children on board, and he is one of the first to leave the boat.

Italian captain did same thing. So did Greek captain in the late 90's I believe.
You supervise the evacuation. You do NOT use your boating and maritime knowledge to make damn sure you are one of first off boat.
