| 2017-02-16 | |
| [FoxNews] Over 2,000 passengers who thought they'd be sailing to the Bahamas this week were unexpectedly delayed at port after a Royal Caribbean cruise ship failed an annual Coast Guard safety inspection Monday. The Majesty of the Seas was scheduled departure from Port Canaveral, Fla. late Monday but Coast Guard officials ordered the liner to remain docked on Valentine's Day after inspectors found multiple safety infractions, including the vessel's life preservers that were "showing their age", according to Florida Today.

| #1 Too many times reported events mask reality. It's easier for readers to believe some graft event (via 'life preservers') is to be blamed for ending the cruise than the less remote possibility of the Coast Guard actually stopping a disaster. If you think a blown airliner with hundreds of passengers is bad, imagine the cascading impact on the passenger maritime industries when a billion dollar 'soft target' vessel goes down with thousands of passengers, on a Valentine's Day cruise. I call it a good cover of fake news. |
