A dozen Canadians were among the 154 passengers and crew who were safely rescued at sea after they were forced to abandon their cruise ship when it struck ice in the Antarctic Ocean and started to sink early Friday morning.
The 12 Canadians - 10 tourists and two expedition guides on the adventure cruise - spent four hours in lifeboats once they were evacuated from the Explorer, a ship owned by G.A.P. Adventures of Toronto, a Canadian tour company.
They waited in the cold for nearby ships to arrive and were then all loaded onto a large Norwegian cruise ship called the Nordnorge.

154 passengers were saved? How are the 12 Canadians significant again? Oh, yeah. Canada only cares about itself. Just like Mexico.

A hole the size of a fist, are you kidding me? Hopefully it was the fist of Zeus or something, I mean how do they make ships today. Just one large open compartment? No pressure locks or anything.

while the story is tragic, does anyone else see the humor in "M/S Explorer Crashes"?
