Have people learned nothing from Titanic.
the obvious answer is no.
Look at the Costa Concordia accident, It hit a rock, got a
gash
in its side, floated for a few minutes and then capsized.
If the wind hadn't blown it into the shore there would have
been thousands dead. They couldn't even launch the lifeboats.
The F_cktard strikes again!
The wind didn't blow it there, it was manoeuvred under power!
You need to find the facts.
It lost all power and was blown back onto the shore.
They did launch lifeboats and thousands would
not have died because it sank in shallow water!
It came to a stop where the water was about 300 feet deep.
if it had gone down there they would have all died.
It didn't launch enough life boats to hold more than about
25% of the souls on board. In fact it didn't even have enough
life boats to hold more than about 80% of those onboard.
On the other hand the titanic suffered similar damage and
stayed
afloat
long enough to launch all its lifeboats and saved thousands
from
certain death.
Thousands were not saved from certain death, 1,514 passengers
died
and
only 710 passengers were saved.
Get your facts right!
You can talk, you don't have a clue about the Costa Concordia.
The Britannic was fitted with cranes instead of davits.

Yes.

It could launch any life boats on either side in any degree of
list.

Wrong, most obviously if its capsized.
Capsised is not list

You never ever could bull**** your way out of a wet paper bag.

Not only couldn't it launch any lifeboat in that particular situation,
it also cant launch those on the other side of the funnels with some
lists either, because the funnels get in the way, stupid.- -

Thick as **** and twice as nasty that's you innit?

We'll see...

Which says precisely what I said about the funnels, ****wit.

Which might just be because that's where I got the funnel story from,
****wit.

You can see the cranes on this picture.

Which show that they cant get the lifeboats from the other side of the
funnels, ****wit.- Hide quoted text -

"A more obvious external change was the fitting of large crane-like
davits, each capable of holding six lifeboats. Additional lifeboats
could be stored within reach of the davits on the deckhouse roof, and
in an emergency the davits could even reach lifeboats on the other
side of the vessel. The aim of this design was to enable all the
lifeboats to be launched, even if the ship developed a list that would
normally prevent lifeboats being launched on the side opposite to the
list."

Pity about

" Post-Titanic design changes

"Following the loss of the Titanic and the subsequent inquiries, several
design changes were made to the remaining Olympic-class liners. With
Britannic, these changes were made before launching. (Olympic was
refitted on her return to Harland and Wolff.) The main changes included
the introduction of a double hull along the engine and boiler rooms and
raising six out of the 15 watertight bulkheads up to 'B' Deck. A more
obvious
external change was the fitting of large crane-like davits, each capable of
holding six lifeboats. Additional lifeboats could be stored within reach of
the davits on the deckhouse roof, and in an emergency the davits could
even reach lifeboats on the other side of the vessel. The aim of this design
was to enable all the lifeboats to be launched, even if the ship developed
a list that would normally prevent lifeboats being launched on the side
opposite to the list. However, several of these davits were placed abreast
of funnels, defeating that purpose.[2] Similar davits were not fitted to
Olympic"

you flagrantly dishonest selective quoting ****wit.
