Captain screwed up? He almost made it, got within 2 miles of open water. If he’d left and hour early he would have made it. Damn the bad luck. Well it is going to be very expressive to get that ship free. Not a sure thing that the two smaller ice breakers can get to her. Most likely a real polar ice breaker will be needed. The ship appears to be listing slightly, she’s feeling the ice.

Well according to scientific predictions by “global warming zealots” they should be in at least 60 degree sea water temps LOL. Yea it does look like it's listing to it's port side some. They have the ladder down at the deck house also looks like. Looking at another thread the passengers seem to be oblivious to the seriousness. I'd say the pucker factor among crew is about 1000 times normal right now. They have enough sense to realize what might happen and the dangers of even an airlift rescue.
