Ooo, GM...
That makes for a very interesting read though, I did wonder what happened when I saw the suspect-looking course trace on the map at the beginning of the report."Crazy like wild wolves threatened by fire, send them all to the bottom of the sea."Comment

I'd rather know about it and learn from it than do it myself and enjoy the "meeting without biscuits" with one's boss the next day....Originally posted by Polaris View PostI love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.....

That was quite a departure from course. Shocking that they would place maintenance at such a precedence that they wouldn't have a lookout so close to the coast. That or the OOW just went to bed drunk...Comment

How far back do these reports go. Something similar happened in the late 80s early 90s in Swansea, where a ship had "arrived" on the beach. The tidal range being an order of magnitude more than that in Malaga allowed the fascinated public to take a stroll around the ship.Comment

The search feature on their website goes back to 1991 although the MAIB was actually established in 1989 following the Herald of Free Enterprise disaster.Former TH cadet with experience of cruise ships, buoy tenders, research ships and oil tankersComment

I was wondering what a MAIB style report of the Titanic disaster would look like and came across this.

It's a bit strange tho, its about why the calaforinian didnt help, not why the titanic sank. One thing i did think was important in it is the importance of calling the master whenever you are in doubt about anything.Originally posted by chris View PostComment

I watched a programme on the Discovery Programme the other day about why the Calafornian didn't comeOriginally posted by gadget123 View Post
to help and apparently it is to do with the mirrage effect? Like in a dessert you see things that's are not there? Apparently the Titanic looked a totally different shape? Or that's what the programme concluded. It actually made a lot of sense, the bloke was some scientist and it all made pretty good sense to me.Comment

Nothing wrong with a drink or two when your off duty, but drinking to excess on duty and drinking on the bridge? Come on this is just ridiculous. Probably one of the same idiots that at 3 miles away decided to alter towards me the other day and ended up passing at 2-3 cables behind me, and left me with very few options.Comment
