Shambles indeed, though to be fair quite a few of the crew members behaved in a fairly responsible manner in trying to assist the passengers, based on what little accurate information they had.

However on the bridge, shambles was an understatement.

The complete lack of any leadership was shocking with the Captain obviously in no fit state of mind to make any decisions at all and no one else fully prepared to take over his responsibilities.

Anyone see the Balmoral leave to re-enact the journey of Titanic. Weird people, lots of people queuing to buy naff souvenirs. Then they are all going to have a photo of the place it went down...but it will just be a bit of sea. One comment called it "a ship of fools":lol:

Not sure how you're making out with your replacement joystick Mr Mouse, but it's not looking so good for your pal. ;)

Just seen a snippet on the Spanish news that they plan to pull the ship into an upright position onto a purpose built platform in the deeper water right beside it's present location, before doing some repairs and floating it again.
Seems like a monumental task for a vessel well above twice the size of the Titanic.
Should be interesting.
