He told us we couldn't get off. I thought my baby was going to die -- I thought we were all going to die. The captain just went, he just left the boat, left us there, I just cannot believe it. Frightening: Rosalyn Rincon, from Blackpool, was trapped in a magic box as the Costa Concordia began to sink 'There were huge problems with aid, no one knew what was going on or what to do. A lot of the crew and the ship's management got away before the passengers. We just had to watch them be rescued with no idea what would happen to us. I was very afraid.' Another Frenchwoman, Beatrice Micheaud, 58, from La Rochelle,  was told to save herself by jumping into the water despite wearing only a flimsy dress. She said she and her 61-year-old husband were in the water for more than an hour. 'It was cold, very cold. I was only wearing evening dress. We hung on to the edge of a liferaft and kept lifting our heads to shout to ask to be taken on board but the people in the raft didn't hear us or didn't want to hear us. We were exhausted.' She was eventually rescued by a boat but her husband was feared to have drowned
