      I mean, if you’re a sailor and you end up overboard, you’re probably gonna die. Idk if you have ever been in the North Sea, but it is cold and choppy and even a modern life vest wont keep you alive for long. Even a strong swimmer stands little chamce of survival if they go overboard on a ship.

        oh yea I’m aware of how deadly cold water can be. I agree all those dudes were probably going to die anyway if their ship sunk, it just sounded like something you’d say if you just don’t want someone dwelling on that fact
