Murder on the QM2?
Don't know if this made the news in the rest of the world so thought I would post a link to the BBC story. I am sure QM2 could do without the bad press.

Lancashirelad,
I have seen nothing in the US press on this, I can't imagine the fight that must have taken place. You are correct, terrible press for Cunard. Robert

Given the number of people on a ship at any one time, I would imagine that statistics would log any number of assaults but most would not end in death.
Same people confined for weeks, months at a time in the same spaces. Unfortunately, another place that fits that description is a prison.  I am one who is fascinated by statistics and chance . Math can make the past understandable and the future often predictable. In my humble opinion ( the one that counts  ) |

Lancashirelad...
have heard nothing here either. Agree, QM2 does not need any more adverse publicity. |

 Good evening, allWell...!!!..the ambulance chasers and headline seekers must feel quite deflated by now.....Not much of a story for them in this one....Tough....!!! It's nice to see a swift, efficient and orderly process followed after such a regrettable episode....Congrats to the various authorities and our toughts go to the two broken families back in the Phillipines. So refreshing to see the media so sober or non existent , for a change. Cheers CG  |

What ?
 No 24/7 coverage on CNN or the Dratted FOX news ? channel ? Something must be wrong. I know ! Just two men fighting and one is killed. No sexy young women, drugs, alcohol, hmmmmmmmmmm.... Nowdays the news channels can only do one story at a time, so they were probably busy on another one. |
