I guess it's going to be some rubbish about Concordia. Probably some ridiculous links to Titanic and Herald of Free EnterpriseOriginally posted by jonnylambert View Post -
I think I can answer that question. Ship's sink when there is too much water within them. They'll either go down gracefully, flip on to their back, flip on to their side or rip in themselves in half a la Titantic style.
There, mystery solved.I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

in the trailer, they also seemed to be showing cruise ships on fire and hitting each other, (all other ships never sink, collide, or burn apparently)you can take it with a pinch of salt, but i prefer it with a nip of whiskyComment

Well its standard media representation of the shipping industry, the public are only really aware of cruise ships, the only exception to this is the rare occasions when somebody manages to spill some oil.Originally posted by ETwhat? View PostComment

Then they're quick to demand that the Captain and Crew be strung up by their testicles regardless of what caused the ship to start leaking in the first place.Originally posted by gadget123 View Post

Yeah just make sure your watching it for a joke and don't take it seriously.
If you really want to learn something about accidents at sea have a look at the MAIB

Second that maib reports are always very detailed and interesting with no side or bias to them.Comment

Keep the people in, keep the water out and don't hit anything...that concludes the syllabus!Comment

I guess it wasn't Air Crash Investigation esque where they go on to explain how the industry improved it's safety as opposed to an hour long tableau of personal disaster. Just a guess, I didn't watch. Do like Air Crash though...Comment

Well that gives me something to watch when I get home in a few days...
