Carnival-did anyone wonder why they didn't let passengers

9. Is that how it went?

Motor Vessel Triumph, Motor Vessel Triumph, this is a mayday, this is a mayday, we have lost main engine power and we are adrift.

Acknowledged Triumph, this is the Mexican Navy and we will tow you to port and then perform a close inspection of your craft.

Are you saying that before they passengers were rescued the goal of the Mexican Navy was to punish Carnival?

Also, which way was the current flowing? Seeming that the vessel was not moving toward Mexico I would say it was moving north east. And which way was the wind blowing, I know they had a tail wind coming into Mobile Bay.

Perhaps they made the best decision at the time.

Putting your hatred of Carnival aside, perhaps the safety of the passengers was a concern and all options were carefully looked at, including the difficulties of getting 4000 people out of Mexico.
