Freak Wave Slams Cruise Ship

[lotust]

what the heck is wrong with my Windows media player 10 ? sharkeeper's avi and all my own avi play at 4 speed ?? a codec problem maybe ?


EDIT: if i rename them to mpg that does not help as well. Even power DVD playes them fast too. WTF

 

[sharkeeper]

there should be laws against rogue waves.

Who is going to enforce them?

avi play at 4 speed

Hahaha 84 knots! That would make a helluva bow wave.

homeland defense

This incident (as well as other documented ones) occurred in international waters.

Oh hell I really hope this is a joke. (taps sarcasm meter repeatedly with knuckle) Yep, goddamn pen on the sarcasm meter was stuck. She's pegged on that one!

I'm watching it on CNN right now. Apparently one of the waves was 73 feet high and took out hundreds of rooms and the restaurant. The company (what else is new) only offered a 25% reduction for their next cruise. The passengers on CNN will never take another cruise ship again. They are seeking legal advice as they want a full refund...and they should get it!:|

why? It was no fault of the company. They can't afford to take a hit like that, a cruise is monstrously expensive, if you take away 100% of the income thats a huge hole.

we may need to form an international consortium, perhaps organized through the UN.

Well we knew this was coming...

Damnable people and their damnable stupid lawsuits! :|

I cannot begin to tell how fvcking pissed off I am about this. :|

Did you expect any different to come about from this situation?

 

[sonz70]

Heh..welcome to America? Im sure there were a hundred layers there on the docks waiting once the ship got back. Tort is huge in the states.

 

[sharkeeper]

Honestly I am not surprised but the timing could not have possibly been worse. Goddamn this fvcking sucks.

EDIT: Class action is even a bigger slap! Talk about feeding the sharks. Bah! bad time for a pun but what the hell! I'm gonna be drunk for breakfast!

EDIT2: This is a long thread and I have some broken links. It appears that some of the networks are not responding back on the mainland and that dogfood eatin' brother in law of mine is not answering the phones. It'll get fixed when it can! :|
