Boats aren't cursed, people are stupid. They'll run up onto and over things time and again.
People drive their trucks into the surf. You think those same people trying to launch their boat and swamping their truck know how to operate a boat? Nope. Bigger boats don't make better drivers, if anything it's the opposite.
The second sinking sounds like a salvage operation gone wrong, so not likely to be the same group of people.
Yeah, that’s not very typical. I’d like to make that point.
Well what happened to it?
Well, there are a lot of these ships going around the world all the time, and very seldom does anything like this happen. I just don’t want people thinking that luxury yachts with engine hatches aren’t safe.
Wake me up when rich people are drowning on it
Best I can do is the end of the month.
