Please give your thoughts and opinions on this matter and vote, thankyou.

You are master of a cruise ship that is carrying 2,000 passengers bound for england, your more than three quarters of the way to england when a tanker collides with your ship.

The tanker backs off and steams more than 10 miles away to safty, you know that there are fatalities as the tanker has ripped open your hull and killed people in thier cabins while they are asleep.

You send out a distress call is it urgent? you ship has already developed a 12 degree list to port, and is down 11 feet by the bow.

Time passes by slowly, an hour later your still sending the distress call, your ship is now listing 25 degrees to port and is down more than 30 feet by the bow.

Will you order the abandon ship?

If you order the abandon ship you leave the people to fend for themselves in the cold waters of the atlantic, but if you dont order the abandon ship you may risk taking them down with the ship.

What do you do?

two hours pass by its now offical the ship is sinking it cannot be saved, if you orderd abandon ship above would you stay with the ship untill she goes down and jump off, or will you go down with her?
