Cruise Ship Sinks Off Antarctica
BUENOS AIRES, Nov. 23 -- The first cruise ship ever built to ply the frigid waters off Antarctica became the first ever to sink there Friday. The red-hulled M/S Explorer struck ice, took on water as 154 passengers and crew members scrambled to safety aboard lifeboats and rafts, then went to the bottom.
I only make light of this because everyone survived - What the hell are passengers thinking going to the Antarctic in a ship called the M/S Explorer? Of course it's going to crash! That makes as about as much sense as travelling on a passenger jet named M/S Windows or BSD (Blue screen of death). I realise the ship came long before Bill Gates stole his first piece of code... but still!
