RickEk Posted April 7, 2009 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Tonight, there was a show on Science Channel entitled "Built from Disaster". The topic of tonight's show focused on ships and ship safety. Prominently featured was the Ruby Princess as she was being built. It was quite interesting. They'll be repeating the show again for a few days. Check your local listings... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WineCountryCruiser Posted April 7, 2009 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the heads up. I just set my DVR to record a rebroadcast tomorrow (Tuesday) on the Science Channel. Sounds like a good watch. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickEk Posted April 7, 2009 Author #6 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the info. Thanks for pointing this out. Thanks for the heads up. Will also check it out later today. No problem... it does focus on some pretty horrific disasters (the Scandinavian Star, the Titanic and the Herald of Free Enterprise) and then shows how modern cruise ships are designed to avoid or minimize the chance of a similar fate. For a gearhead like me, it was very interesting and to see footage of the Ruby Princess as she was being built was icing on the cake. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sox Fan Cruiser Posted April 7, 2009 #7 Share Posted April 7, 2009 We caught it last night too. It was really interesting!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rstamper Posted April 7, 2009 #8 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Thanks for the information. I love to watch shows on cruise ships. I usually do a search every couple of days, but I put in the word cruise and this particular program would not have shown up. It is on in about an hour and a half.

RickEk Posted April 7, 2009 Author #9 Share Posted April 7, 2009 Well, I watched it again.. :p, the only thing that seemed to be fact-challenged was their assertion that the Ruby Princess was 130,000 tons. Ah well... 113, 130, sorta sounds the same in an Italian accent I guess... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
