moose SG With the huge choppy ways and the pitch darkness,the chances of locating them are negligible.
moose SG It's not just compromising compartment integrity.It's saving the lives of the other people on board the ships.It may sound harsh,but it's better to sacrifice 4 people to save 44 others than vice versa.
YI SG i think i read somewhere that the merchant ship did turn around n help but the shallow water/rock round pedra branca make it difficult for them. so don't think there is a 'stuck' situation.
YI SG how abt this deal: sacrificing the ship to save all its crew. of course, you have to save the ship first to buy more time.
sgboy2004 SG Ask the experts here... is there a blackbox in ships, like those in airplanes? Pardon mi ignorance. Thanks
YI SG A record is kept for all sea-faring ships less those bump boats that ferry you to Singapore outer islands.
xavier1979 SG As far as I know, there isn't black box onboard ships. However, the duty watch is supposed to maintain a log book detailing every single thing that happened on the bridge.
sgboy2004 SG i c...but wont it b better to automate this tracking...then the investigation team can re-trace the path of the ship if needed.
