Re: Our Hero, Capt. Rostron

Re: Our Hero, Capt. Rostron
Although I have been told on good authority if he attempted to do the rescue today, he would have been fired and lost his license for endangering the ship and its passengers.

Re: Our Hero, Capt. Rostron
Well, he did endanger the ship and crew, which would be the charge. Although, if someone really tried to dismiss someone under similar cirumstances today, I imagine the shipping line would have to back down if the hulabaloo was anything like Rostron caused - people have, on occasion, been known to use their heads for more than a hatrack.

Yes, the saving grace of the human race is that occaisionally people actually opt to use the brains they've been given!

im offended i was never given any brains.
[wills goes and pouts in the corner]
anyway i didnt know that they would have gotten charged for that ...the very same thing rostron did .,wow.
then i guess i can understand too because the ship would have been put in serious danger and the crew as well. but i imagine he took caution when entering the icefield.
i have heard before that he came close to hitting a few .

He was and is a hero, unless of course the Carpathia had also hit an iceberg. The little people can rarely win.
