Congested Skies

[Masamune·1600]

I find it hard to believe the crew on board the Titanic failed to notice the iceberg until it was too late - I mean it was a clear night and well come on, it's a bloody big white chunk of ice !

The Titanic disaster probably could have been avoided if not for the incompetence of just about everyone associated with that voyage. In the case of the lookouts, only two were posted. Neither had a pair of binoculars, and (having been posted at the highest point) were at a terrible angle to view the iceberg. Ironically, had they been viewing from the deck, they would have been forewarned of the iceberg far sooner.

As to air travel, the point has already been made that it's far safer than driving.
