`AMEN `Rick...
It's a sad story + the loss of `life They should not have been out at sea with all the warnings & advisories...The USA also will pay the price for the rescue..It's sad, so very sad...It was a costly mistake 4-Sure..

So many people do not listen to warnings & they gamble with their lives & the lives of their families/others...I don't understand ?
Did the creator of `all make stupid people so that others would look wiser ? There's always a big cost to others, for those that do
not obey the orders for their own good ? It's frustrating 4-Real...Maybe `if they had to pay for their mistakes ?, they would learn to do what is best for them & others ? ? ? ? ?aaaaah, don't worry, it won't happen to me ? ? ? (I'm brave, or am I stupid) `> I look in2 my own mirror ? ?

Yeah I was wondering why they had that out there in the first place. They had to of known well in advance that the storm was moving North that way. I just remember hearing about it on Good Morning America yesterday morning and that it was stranded and taking on water. I didn't know how serious it was but heard later yesterday that it had went down.

That does suck. ANd it does sound like poor judgement to take that ship out to see. I hope the captain is found alive (as it sounds like everyone else made it out).

I suppose despite the unfortunate situation, if Disney wants to make another Pirate movie and is dead set on that ship.... A company will have to employ people to build a new one. It means jobs....

But I don't know how much of a "plus side" that could be.
