RIP to an honorable man. I don’t know what the rest of his life was like, but he died doing what a man should do.

My dad, who spent 6 years in the Navy always said - in the unfortunate event you need to go in the water, never go off the fantail and never go in head first.

Venezuela-based Banesco president Juan Carlos Escotet Rodriguez

I wasn't aware that there are billionaires in the Peoples Republic of Venezuela ...

Guess some pigs really are more equal than others.

As part of a billionaire Venezuelan family, this guy did not have to experience what most of the hardships the citizens of Venezuela have had to experience. Yet his wealth did not spare him from a tragic death. At least he died in an act of courage and chivalry.

Why wouldn’t the Captain shut the engines down if there was an ‘overboard’ situation?

A friend’s brother died in a small boating lake after being hit by a prop. It was the same lake their sister had drowned in 20 or so years earlier.
