Lets get to what I want to say, and the point I was making in my previous post:</p> <p>Had the ship been docked for the repairs it needed, it would not have been out on the water to roll and mess with the water levels within the boiler. Had the Sultana been in for repairs, it would not have had the chance to sink that night.</p> <p>It was up to the owner to see to it that his boat was in good enough shape to safely carry passangers, he knew the condition of the boiler. He failed to do that. Therefore, in my eyes, it is him who is at fault for this disaster.</p> <p>Of course, if it hadn't been the Sultana, it would have been another ship. We learned from this disaster and moved on, making changes and pehaps saving more lives in the long run.</p> <p>                                                                                  -S.
