  1. Yet again we see a lack of caution. 1. when in a safe position in bad weather, wait. 2. If someone decides to get under way in bad weather i.e. fog, see number 1 A tragedy that could have been avoided & demonstrate yet again that saving money and a lack of regulation produces an unhappy outcome. I do hope the lookout at the life saving station lost his job due to negligence. Thanks for the video

  2. At 90 metres it is very surprising that the gold hasn't been salvaged. It may be that there are strong currents or other hazards as the wreck is in relatively shallow water. 4.5 tons of gold was recovered from HMS Edinburgh at of a depth was 245 metres (800 ft).

  3. Absolutely (w)reckless to be travelling at full speed in dense fog & not to slow down when another foghorn/whistle is heard. Punctuality should be a distant second to arriving safely but we know companies put profit before people's lives unless compelled to. After all the ships were insured but the passengers & crews were not.

  4. Very interesting video. Yet again we see or rather not see the dangers of ships speeding through fog careless of the dangers.
