Damn, those people just got swept away by furniture. And how about the one guy trying to hang on to a piano!

what is this
Quote:
One passenger Lisa Dolan, who suffered cuts, broken ribs and a ruptured kidney when hit by a trolley, wants P&O to admit they made a mistake and pay her damages for the week she spent in hospital due to the incident.

P&O say they will defend themselves in court against Lisa Dolan and explained that the event occurred during freak weather and have since taken the necessary safety precautions on-board the Pacific Sun

You can tell who has sea legs and who doesn't. Some of the crew didn't have a problem at all.

Isn't that part of the excitement on a cruise?

Maybe next time they'll bolt the furniture down...

There was a Senior Chief I knew who could drink a cup of coffee in a destroyer in high seas and not spill a drop, it is all in the wrist.

Nothing they could really do about the rough seas (other than going WAY around) but it just seems like a good idea to secure things like a piano.

I mean, it's a PIANO for heaven's sake! Worth money, rather fragile and heavy enough to squish a person. They don't make those Bugs Bunny cartoons with pianos falling on people just because it's funny - they do it because it squishes them!

Looks like it rides like an Amphib, flat bottomed. I used to break out the sardines and green cigars when the ride was like that.

Dammit, Angela. Keyboards are expensive, and this one is ruined.
