Well... double hull... I mean, would that have really done any good? If you gash her for 50m of one hull or both, what good would the double hull do? Are tankers not double hulled to avoid the problem of sulfuric acid? If you run agound, you run aground. Three hulls ain't gonna save ya. Am I talkin out my... ?

I am keen on the time line. I am keen on the forensic engineering anaylses of the time line wrt bulkhead closures and WHO had (?) to be sacrificed or were sacrificed by automatic systems to save so many lives. We don't know WHO died why they were in a position to die. This investigation will be a LONG one. And, it's still all conjecture herein our insignificant thread at The Café.
