Cruise Ship Incident

I do believe "go flying here and there" is the technical news reporter term for what happens to passengers when a cruise ship lists 50-60 degrees to the side.

Where's the video? :p

There's been plenty of video of the ship slowly coming into Port Canaveral, but I doubt we'll see any video of the people go flying here and there.

Ohh I expect we will. There is always someone running around a cruise ship with a video camera running. Espically on one of the larger ships.

Apparently this happend shortly after it left port. I wonder if they were in the middle of the required emergency drill, that would be ironic.

Of course it's too early to tell, but I'll wager it was pilot error. When you can steer something that big with a joystick all it takes is a lunch tray set in the wrong place....

...and Donald Sutherland as the clumsy waiter - oh God, I really should put down this stuff

"There's got to be a morning after..."

Seriously though... 50-60 degrees? Not likely. A ship like that could take 35 to 40 max.

That's what I heard the news say. It was channel 2, not channel 6, so I'm more likely to believe it coming from them. But they still were in "breaking news! we don't know anything but we'll blather on and on because this is a good story" mode.

Maybe the 50-60 was between the water and the ship rather than between the ship and upright? Gee, that woudn't have been misleading or anything.

Why does this, more than any of the other arguements, make me want to ride a cruise ship?

Be sure to take Princess--they've had an "exciting" year and I'd bet there would be some bare midriffs.

What did you do on your vacation?

It's was cool! We got to go flying here and there.


I must have heat stroke, because I'm just laughing and laughing.
