BelizeIt Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Apparently, the cruise ship lost power and struck an Antarctic Glacier. A passenger aboard the ship reported that after the power went out, that the ship began drifting backwards....... Robert O'Connor from Indiana stated "I actually saw the wall of ice coming up the starboard side. It came up fairly quickly, and the ship drifted into it." In the end they restored the power to the ship, and no one was injured. Then to calm his nervous passengers, the Captain wisely opened up the bar and gave "free drinks to everyone!" www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22429821/
TheRapidsNerd Posted December 29, 2007 Posted December 29, 2007 Scary and funny. Truly, a wise captain. You have to wonder if anybody ordered their drink "on the rocks".
