An accident waiting to happen?

Does anyone out there remember a ship named, umm, what was it called again?

Oh yeah, TITANIC???

Didn't we learn our lesson the FIRST time?

"Oasis of the Seas: Titanic Proportions"

"Royal Carribean's Oasis of the Seas debuts in December as the world's largest cruise ship. It is nearly five times the gross tonnage of the Titanic, and 1 1/2 times longer than the U.S. Capitol building, has 16 decks and has a capacity for 6,296 guests. You may also be pleased to know that Oasis has the largest lifeboats in the cruise world. Each one can hold nearly 370 people."

Oh, I'm VERY pleased to know that. If history has a lesson to be learned here, those lifeboats are going to be needed.

Why are we as humans OBSESSED with "bigger and better"?

5 TIMES the size of the TITANIC???

We all know how well THAT ended.

When does it stop?

How many warning signs do you need?????
