Hi,
Not just the Aviation Industry by a long shot, and it's not confined to the Herald Sun either!
This remember me a old media story.
offshore Belgium time ago .. a tanker ship was involved in a collision with a bulk carrier.
THe RTBF (main stream Belgian TV) commented the event with in attendance their maritim specialist (a named Demis Rousseau)
The comments of the expert:
"The bulk carrier collided with the tanker cause a problem with the helm machinery (rudder).
He run in the middle of the tanker hull ... just where is the engine room"
All know (and certainly a maritim expert) the engine room space on a modern tanker is on the aft of the ship.
I make the remark to the RTBF .. but they never answered.
I search myself how this journalist was a "maritim expert" and found he was sailing sometime with a small boat.....
So..I don't rely the press for tell my the true as the bible ..experts or not
Cheers.
