| 1254376 | 2012-01-15 20:21:00 | Exports or Imports? What are you trying to start here? Methinks that a great volume of the wet stuff went to the other side of the boat :) :) |

| 1254378 | 2012-01-15 22:41:00 | And they also have a history of going into reverse (with their tanks at least) Their women and their cars make up for it though. |

| 1254379 | 2012-01-15 23:22:00 | Kind of wondered why it sunk with the damaged side up. I've always wonder how stable these ships are as they seem very top heavy. Maybe the rushing in of the water changed the center of balance hence the reason for the quick sinking on the good side.. | paulw (1826) | ||

| 1254381 | 2012-01-16 00:59:00 | Yes all those cruise ships look very top heavy to me. I remember in the 60's and 70's there were a few cruise liners that caught fire way out in the ocean and there were no where enough life rafts for every one. I wonder if that situation has changed ? |

| 1254383 | 2012-01-16 05:58:00 | Assuming the other side was undamaged I'm guessing i tpushed up against the rocks/reef and listed over, as it is a top heavy vessel as water poured in it flooded the opposite size causing it to fall over damaged side up | The Error Guy (14052) | ||
