I never considered a barrel roll of a cruise ship. Easy enough on many plane types, but a cruise ship? That would have made him truly legendary.
Well as you are a flier, I used to be a diver. We all have our stories. I have dived a lot on shipwrecks in the Red Sea and in the Mediterranean. Must be over 600 when I stopped logging. One of the guys always made a round-up of the wrecks and how it happened. The stupidity of the captains was always amazing. Either they were drunk or asleep but they never saw the obvious marks (or whatever you call those in English).
They all ran into reefs or rocks near the coast and they should know better (if sober). As I told Pete (Racephoto) my ex burned all my slides and I had many hundreds on Fuji-chrome film, best for underwater photography. The limit was 36 per dive so you had to think.
When I finally made it to dive-instructor I got bored of teaching newbies and I tried to escape as much as I could to the Red Sea from Sharm to Sudan with a military diver (a major) on one of those cheap Egyptian flights (400$ all in, flight, live-aboard boat, food, lead and tanks) in those days. I got kilometers of video too from those days but as it is 13 years ago, it's not HD and not "stock worthy".
Oh well, to stay on topic, I don't care about IS. H&F will sell them anyways in 2012.
