REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, KUTA -- The incident of Costa Concordian cruise ship that ran aground recently has traumatized some its crew members from Bali. Some 23 crew members from Bali who survived the incident arrived on Kuta on Saturday evening, picked up by their families.
Some crew members and their parents said they were traumatized by the incident. While the parents did not wish their sons would work as ship crew again. Yet, some of the survivors said they would work as crew again but they would need a long time to recover.
"For the time being I would take a rest. I would think again to work as ship crew again but I must work," Putra Suwantara (28 year), one of the crew members arrived in the fourth batch said.
Edi Suparma, another crew member, did not look well on arrival and seemed reluctant to tell about his experience. His father, Wiastri, said he would never allow his son to work as a ship crew again.
"He probably need not work there again. He would be better to work at home. We do not need much, if we have some food, that is enough," he said.
Saturday was the day of the arrival of the last of the four batches of Costa Concordia crew members from Bali. Thirty-nine crew members had arrived before by Qatar Airways flight.
