If mega ship like the Anthem sank during the recent incident, could USCG rescue them?
I've been trying to convince a couple of family members to go on a cruise for
the very first time. They don't like ships... not even little paddle boats in
amusement parks. It doesn't help that the Anthem incident is on all TV news
stations repeated in the last few days.
It does make me think... if a mega ship like Anthem sank last week, would the
USCG/Navy or other rescue ships or helicopters reach the passengers in those
monster waves? The Titanic struck an iceberg but remained in relatively
calm waters. The passengers were able to board lifeboats and be rescued by
other ships. (obviously their problem was not nearly enough lifeboats, but
that's not a problem these days)
