re: Why are ship captains still expected to go down with ship

Seriously, if you are on a ship in todays world owned by some money making company and a flaw in their work makes a ship go down...frick that, I give the ole "abandon ship" order and I am OUT.

I understand he is in command, but when a ship is rolling over and sinking at the rate this thing did, it's dumb to think there is anything else he can do and should die also.

But I will say this, if that motherfricker did something out of protocol and helped this thing wreck, he should be brought back out there today and stuck back in a hole in the ship!
