Where are the Christian men that should have accepted responsibility for the blind pair during the flight? If I was on a flight and that happened, I'd accept responsibility for safety for a blind person. Beats watching a 3 year old any day.

The Birkenhead Disaster
To take your chance in the thick of a rush, with firing
all about,
Is nothing so bad when you've cover to 'and,
an' leave an' likin' to shout;
But to stand an' be still to the Birken'ead drill is a damn tough bullet to chew,
An' they done it, the Jollies -- 'Er Majesty's Jollies -- soldier an' sailor too!
Their work was done when it 'adn't begun; they was younger nor me an' you;
Their choice it was plain between drownin' in 'eaps an' bein' mopped by the screw,
So they stood an' was still to the Birken'ead drill, soldier an' sailor too
