One of the biggest sea disasters in British history, that will forever be remembered as a tragic and unnecessary loss of lives. (As well as Leonardo DiCaprio's blue face disappearing beneath the waves.) As we are fast approaching this landmark anniversary, is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that the news has been filled with stories of cruise ship disasters? First there was the Costa Concordia which sank with the loss of lives.
Now we are hearing about one of its sister ships, the Costa Allegra, that is being towed to port after a fire.
Those are only the recent ones. There have been various other disasters over the last few years. It would seem that even now, 100 years after the Titanic tragedy, lessons have still not been learnt. It would seem that we are still putting luxury over safety. Is it just me, or is anyone else worried that they are building bigger, heavier aeroplanes? They have already more than proved that big ships have a habit of sinking. How long before their Uber Planes start falling from the sky?
