that would make sence, if the boat lost comunications it would be dry docked. what else suprizes me is that none of the boat opperators have cell phones.
I would hate to think that the captian shut off comunications for part of the trip, and more horrifying egnoring comunica'.
systme failures do happen and it is scary when you think of all the probabilities that can happen. even something as simple as a radio failure. the slitest thing can mean life or death when dealing with macheins.
I remember the first space shuttle blow up and the cause was 30 cents worth of rubber "O ring" on a fuel loshage that failed during a freek frost freeze in southern florida.
dont like to think that a captian or fleet owner would put personal proplems or financial cituations above the safty of paytrons. but that too happens as well.
I dont know if you heard about the fairy that capsized in new york a short time ago loaded down with retired tourest. Aperently they had no insurance to cover the axident. A whole boat load of people died, the insurance comapny from florida backed out stating they would not back the insodent.
I mean there is just so much not right about that situation. we know the states do check to see that the boats are insured before they are licensed for business. the insurance company said that they defrauded the fairy company. dosnt this mean that now tha insurance company is now liable for not only the axident and other leagle and civil law suits which would in event lead to liquidation of the insurance company.
I am just scratcing my head on this one. to me it sounds like an insurance company is trying to dodge a bullet by claiming fraud on thier part.
mean while thirth plus families here in michigan who had parrents and grandparents on that fairy had to come up with funds for funeral services including having them shipped back from NY.
I am glad in this particular case all turned out well.
