I haven't read all the details, and while I wish the sailors well and hope they are rescued the changes are probably slim.
My only concern is that this tale gets propelled to the forefront of the media with headlines demanding to know why more was not done. Unfortunately, and I think the entertainment side of the media has something to answer for here, there is a swathe of the general public that believe anyone can be rescued from anything!
The truth of the matter is that there are risks in everything you do, and at some point you may find yourself in a position where there will be no-one who can help you.
