“Unfortunately, that was when the Islamic Brotherhood was murdering tourists, so I canned that idea.”
Yes, things like that tend to put a damper on the fun! My grandparents were crossing on the QE ll when there was a bomb threat. The ship was dead still in the Atlantic for some time as Navy divers, or “frogmen” as they were called, searched the hull of the ship. Needless to say, the bar was open the entire time! Made for a great story.
There was a movie like that, Juggernaut (1974). Pretty decent.
