  • The Titanic Disaster
    This issue sponsored by http://www.aiche.org/CCPS/Publications/Beacon/index.aspx www.aiche.org/ccps Messages for Manufacturing Personnel www.iomosaic.com Emergency Preparation – The Titanic Disaster July 2012 April 15, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the loss of the ocean liner Titanic in the North Atlantic Ocean, approximately 2½ hours after hitting an iceberg. Over 1,500 people died in the most famous maritime disaster in history. Thousands of pages have been written about the loss of the Titanic, as well as many documentary and fictional movies produced. Many focus on the construction of the ship and the actions of its captain and crew. Whatever the construction and operating issues, attention to one particular issue could have saved many lives – Emergency Preparation! Some specific failures in emergency preparedness before the sinking of the Titanic included: • Not enough lifeboats for all passengers and crew, perhaps because the builders considered the ship “unsinkable”! • No lifeboat drills had been conducted, and many people did not know where to go or what to do. • Many of the first lifeboats to leave the Titanic were not full and some occupants were reluctant to pull other people from the icy water for fear of capsizing their lifeboat. • The decision to abandon ship was delayed while the captain and crew assessed damage. Had the captain started evacuation earlier, before people began to panic, more lifeboats may have been filled in a more orderly evacuation. What can you do? Î Process plants may conduct many types of emergency drills. Fire, leak or spill response, shelter-in-place, evacuation, and severe weather are some common types.

As a result, his academic records displayed less than spectacular achievements and poor grades. By the time he was 16, Bon Jovi was playing clubs. It was not long before he hooked up with keyboardist David Bryan (real name: David Bryan Rashbaum), who played with him in a ten-piece rhythm and blues band called Atlantic City Expressway.
