#as a brit idk much about the coast guard and idk if its part of the military in america
im rewatching disasters at sea because hi one of my special interests is shipwrecks, and i forgot that one of the episodes includes the phrase
high seas hit and run
#kai rambles#special interest#disasters at sea#shipwrecks#idk how to tag this#its a fun show it you ever want to watch it#theres currently 3 seasons each with 6 epusodes and every episode is on youtube#they do recreations and their effects do not look like they were made in windows movie maker#and theyre very fair and respectful of those who died and their family members#snd they really do give them their moments to talk about their lost loved ones#and some of them have just amazing stories of survival#its a good show#you also get to meet emergency divers from the coast guard and some from the navy and like putting the military bullshit aside#these guys are genuinely heroes#like they jump into below freezing temperatures with waves as high as like 40feet so they can get to people who need rescuing#they do actually risk their lives to save people#also the show goes over what went wrong in this case and what regulations and laws have been changed and put in place since then#to make sure it never happens again#as a brit idk much about the coast guard and idk if its part of the military in america#but they genuinely seem to be very good at their jobs and very much care about saving as many lives as they can#and they seem very very thorough in their investigations rather than just pinning it on someone and going home#obviously this show could be giving me a false picture of it#but somehow a show called disasters at sea does make me feel a little less convinced that i will never get on a boat heading into the ocean#still never doing it though
