The Delta Queen

[DianeID]

I am torn over the news. Part of me believes her 80+ year safety record should stand for soemthing, and part of me says the Hindenburg had a pretty decent safety record too.

I believe that safety record should not stand for something, but it should stand by itself. The system works.

I would venture to say, most people can swim. Last time I checked, people have heavy bones and therefor cannot fly like birds. Also, the Delta Queen is equipped with life preservers and boats. The Hindenburg did not have parachutes, nor did it have a perfect record.
