EZ4 Posted February 28, 2014 #51 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I didn't see it on the news, but I read the story on line. It cracked me up that he wasn't allowed to touch anything! I don't even know why he was there except to speak out and say that the stories were all lies.:rolleyes: I was hoping that he was there to re-enact his falling off the ship, into a life boat.

Pine Bluff Posted February 28, 2014 #52 Share Posted February 28, 2014 You seem to have a low standard for what you consider "news". The pablum many media outlets fill each day with isn't typically worth bothering with. Yes, I "missed" (i.e. I largely ignored) the media circuses surrounding Zimmerman, Anthony, Simpson, etc. There are typically more impactful things going on in the world. Maybe if I were a CNN viewer, which I am not. In fact, the last time I probably watched was that fateful Thursday last February as the Triumph was being towed into post. Such great picures and live video, right down to watching the tow rope break rendering her helpless once again. Now tell me that ship is not cursed.

cherbear4000 Posted March 5, 2014 #57 Share Posted March 5, 2014 (edited) I understand that this cruise sucked. I am very glad I was not on it. I do not understand how people think they deserve all this money. No one's life was endangered. No one was severely injured. I don't buy for one second people got PTSD from a bad cruise. (Unless it sank like the Concordia - those people deserve money). Edited March 5, 2014 by cherbear4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YubaSutter Posted March 5, 2014 #61 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Hopefully the Judge sees how ridiculous this lawsuit is and throws it out. Not how it works. The judge can't throw out lawsuits because they think it is ridiculous. They can be dropped by the plaintiff, settled, or trial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one's life was endangered. No one was severely injured. I don't buy for one second people got PTSD from a bad cruise. (Unless it sank like the Concordia - those people deserve money). Maybe they think PTSD stands for "post TURD stress disorder" or maybe "post TRIUMPH stress disorder"... :eek: Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
