On Paul Harvey Junior, news and comment. He told of the man who left his
shift, and forgot to pass along the key to the binoculars cabinet. The
watchman wasn't able to see very far into the distance.

Interesting theory on the compartments. I wonder, sometimes, why ships
aren't made with styrofoam in the walls. When I was a kid, the aluminum row
boat we used during the summer had some kind of foam under the seats. I'm
told that even if the row boat took water, the foam floats under the seats
would keep the ship from going down totally.

The article does not amount to proof, but it is interesting. Another
one mentioned that if quality welding was available and used to make
the hull, then it would not open up the way it did due to the
collision.
