good point (titanic wasnt a good example)...but i still would be scared traveling on something that large and having to evacuate in an emergency. pure panic alone would cause mayhem.

aannndd, i know the thing isnt going near ice, but what about a reef, another ship, or sand??? i mean, the Tricolor (carrying the volvos and such) sank in 30 minutes after colliding with another boat...and a few days later a German cargo ship hit the wreckage. i guess radar doesnt work in the fog

thats all, points made from both parties
