I believe there were protective dolphins. But they were based on 1950 size/weight ships.
Talking heads have commented that even today's dolphins would probably not stopped that size of ship.
Also, there is a real mish-mash of safety requirements on international ships. It had emergency electricity but like most ships, it doesn't come on instantly. And it needed to be instant in this case.
Other crashes have been caused by a burst hydraulic line and it's not easy to build in hydraulic redundancy.
So overall, no good answers.

Those that complain that all you hear is how great it is and how great Mr. Kelby is, have a point.
BUT, I've been a member since the NAPP days, attended two conferences and often view their videos. I took in a video last night. Both the conferences and videos have been a huge help to me. For me, it's worth it. If you don't view the videos, or you already know everything, it's of no value.

Absolutely true. By the time you go through all those layers, including the viewer's eye and you left out the color of the surrounding space which influences how you see the picture's color, "perfect" color reproduction is meaningless.

It's so the white cow isn't cut off. Compare the first cropped photo (with half a white cow) to the last photo. She's got it right.

Not only is the card reader easier than finding and plugging in each end of the right cable (yea, I should keep the right cable plugged in), but my card reader downloads MUCH faster than my camera!

cbtsam,
I love your thoughts on wabi-sabi and photography.

Years ago, I saw a wonderful exhibit at the Met of the original wabi-sabi ceramics. A total repudiation of the perfect ceramics that had evolved in Japan. They were so perfect that they might as well have been machine made (though there were no machines back then). Such perfect uniformity was no longer attractive or at all natural.

The wabi-sabi ceramics were rough, seriously imperfect, and all very natural. No tree or rock is perfectly symmetrical. That was the aesthetic of the ceramics on display.

For me, personally, a wabi-sabi photograph would be imperfect in an interesting way. Taken with a pinhole camera. Or just enough movement to partially hide the subject. Or seriously over or under exposed to hide detail but show something of interest. Or an interesting double-exposure. For me, the picture would have to be compelling, not just messed up.

Achieving this is way beyond my artistic/photographic talents but I'd be interested to see a master who can pull it off. Here are some examples of photographs labeled wabi-sabi. I agree with these and I think you can go much further with wabi-sabi as I've described above.

Thank you for supporting your local brick and mortar. We MUST keep these places open, not give in to saving a buck on Amazon and then having no support, no advice, no help!

My local brick and mortar is Samy's Camera in Santa Ana CA. There are multiple locations. I've gotten all sorts of help from these folks. And they have a great warranty program where they send the camera in and make sure it's fixed right, I don't have to deal with the repair company.

It's not the religion itself, it's the local interpretation of the religion. You can see that in Islam. Muhammed's wives went about with their faces and bodies uncovered. But the Taliban interprets "modest dress" to mean covering the entire body. We see the same thing in Christianity. Baptists see dancing as sinful and lustful, Methodists are very uncomfortable with alcohol, but Catholics are comfortable with both.

The religions are here to stay but the interpretation can grow over time. Pray for that growth to come to Islam. It's long past time.

All very true. AND only half the story. I used a good camera, expensive wide-angle lens, and a quality panorama head to shoot 360 panos of a very special house. The 360s record the historic living environment of a significant craftsman. Who, incidentally did have that incredible eye. But to record his living environment I needed equipment and technical knowhow, not an artistic eye. For other photographs, you need that artistic eye and minimal technical knowhow or equipment.

You can divide photography into two extremes (and many gradations in between), and then mix various portions of each extreme to create the appropriate shot. One end is creating art, the other end is documentation. Family photos should document and will also be greatly improved by the artistic eye. When I shoot handmade furniture for an artist/craftsman friend he depends on my equipment and knowhow but the pictures are much better if he's present to use his eye to get the best angle. On the other hand, when photographing an oil painting for a catalog the only issues are technical. Is it sharp? Are the colors true? Have you eliminated any reflections off the oil paint?

There are multiple worlds within photography.

I don't think so. There's been a few catalog updates but not that frequent.
To the OPs question, I had no problems at all, it was remarkably fast on over 100k pictures, and it may have fixed an infuriating problem with my ability to move folders.

Red6 is exactly right. The entire British hospital system was taken down a few years ago. If I remember correctly, they were at least 5 years behind on Microsoft updates. Duh, what did they expect? Or were they running a no-longer supported version of Windows? I can't remember the details but they were clearly asking for trouble.
Multi-generation backups, absolutely current software, etc. are mandatory. You can still get hit but at least you're not begging to be brought down.
