300sd Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Of course this would be after: proper training and licensing of captains, vessel seaworthiness inspections and licenses, proper maintenance etc. Just joking, we all know it's always the cart before the horse, or we can run before we learn to walk.... Or we just don't care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spidermike007 Posted March 16, 2019 Share Posted March 16, 2019 Anything to improve their safety record would be a good thing. That major storm that brought down the Phoenix had to be on the radar somewhere! Such disasters are unnecessary these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
