#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.
