Tragic. I can’t watch it any more.
People, especially groups, are so slow to react to anything. Ever tried evacuating a building never mind a ship? Costa concordia footage showed complete lack of haste as well. Lifeboats can only launch when vertical. Past a few degrees the davits are useless. Oil rig style drop/release boats would be the only solution.
I take many official safety instructions with a pinch of salt these days. But I read the safety card and count the rows on aircraft. Am I unusual?
Do you think Korean “cultural authority” might have been a factor here as well?
