The wireless broke down on Saturday night and was fixed around 4 or 5am. I know both stayed up all night and fixed the problem. So Sunday morning, if they were behind. Why take other messages if you are behind? They had 9 messages, only 1 wasn't recorded. That was the final one from the Californian. If people complain, so be it. The fact the Mesaba(sp) and Californian both sent messages warning of "heavy pack ice and ice fields and being stopped." You'd think if he took the time to write them down, he would send them to the bridge. He had Bride to help him. And they were stationed very close to the bridge. Jotting down an ice warning would take only a few moments. And if people complained, they had a valid excuse. The machine broke down for hours....It was April, ice in the sea lanes was very common and should have been taken into consideration. It wasn't, and now we see the end result. Just my thoughts.
