interesting how the random lady on the ship who called her daughter did more to save lives than the captain
You forgot when a prestigious university gave him the chance to give lessons on "panic management". After the disaster.
Damn, props to the lady and her daughter who called the police, they probably saved lives that day.
5 years later and this video is still better than the 2026 netflix documentary
It could've been worse. They could've offered 500 atoms in in-game currency as compensation
