Disasters At sea;

[Don Rafferty]

[/I]Watching a lot of sea scenario movies, you wonder who is the technical advisor, ........ even non seafarers must despair at this oh so obvious mistakes.

It's not just the nautical aspect, anything that involves working at height or any sort of rope access is usually pretty laughable as well. When you see someone scale a thousand foot cliff or abseil down a thirty story building with nothing more than what's in their pocket, tends to get my jaundiced eye a-twitching. I've done a lot of tree surgery and the bag of gear required to do even a small tree wouldn't fit in anyones pocket!! Just painting a 30/40 ft samson post from a bosuns chair requires a heap of gear on deck.

The explanation as to why ships sink is simple. They just achieve a state of negative buoyancy. Sorted !

Oh I thought water got in..........
