Die Geschichte um den Kapitän des gekenterten Kreuzfahrtschiffes bewegt die Welt. Zu Recht, wie Albert Mohler feststellt:
It is a portrait of moral collapse and the forfeiture of manhood.
Was besonders erschüttert, ist sein Verhalten nach dem Auffahren.
He failed to do what any man in his position would be expected to do. He even refused a direct command to take up his duty, once he had abandoned it.
Mohler stellt diesem Verhalten das geradlinige Verhalten anderer Kapitäne gegenüber und resümiert dann:
The decisions we make in the present will determine the kind of decision we would make in the future if we were to face the same challenge.
