I think this is a case where the problem comes down to top management.

Probably an urban legend, but two people in my choir say that the music playing on the cruise ship when it hit the rock was "My Heart Will Go On".

Ironic if true, but probably not.

Clodfobble · 01-23-2012, 05:12 PM

Nah. For one thing, a ship that big has got several clubs and/or ballrooms per deck, which would each have different music playing.

What they meant to say was they wished Celine Dion had been steering, as she'd have no doubt done a better job.
