Geez, people, there's a reason they're called accidents.

Then again, who was supposed to be watching out ahead of the ship for obstacles? It's not as if they had radar, or sonar, GPS or accurate charts in those days.

At least the captain of the Titanic didn't push women and children out of his way in order to reach the first lifeboat - in those days, even most of the 1% didn't do that, and some ended up going down with the ship, becoming heroes. Not all, but some.

Maybe we didn't go far enough when we bombed the moon. laconicsax Mar 2012 #1
