100 Things That We Learnt From 'Poseidon'

16 Bow Thrusters keep running long after the powerplant is stuffed

18. Externally, a ship may have 3 bow thrusters but internally there is only one tube.

19. Cruise lines are required to have a second in command who have a second sense for rogue waves. Unfortunately it's useless in preventing such an event.

20. Fortunately flash fires are rampant on capsized cruise ships, thus killing off hordes of unnecessary possible survivors/extras.

27. if you used to be mayor of new york, youre daughter cant be harmed.
28. playing poker ensures you a spot in the search party. (3 out of the 4 guys playing...really?)
29. kids cant feel heat from doors hot enuff to turn water to steam instantly.
30. snake plissken has a daughter.
31. someone out there somewhere is making a gold ruffled tuxedo shirt and someone else thinks its a good idea.
32. when you escape the sinking ship, there will be a life-raft ready and waiting for you even tho no one had time to deploy one. as luck would have it itll be on the right side of the ship and close enough so you only have to swim about 20 feet.
33. if you need a handle for a make-shift zip-line therell be one within 5 feet of you.
34. you dont have to know anything at all about the ship just because youre the captain.

36. Rogue waves are rare, unpridictable, and lethal.

56. If a ship capsizes, the engines will keep running.

57. If said capsized ship has a fuel leak that sets half the thing ablaze ... the engines will keep running.

58. If said capsized ship is blown up under water, totally drowned, you got it, the engines will keep running.

59. If there are survivors in such a fantastic capsized ship and only way out is through those still running engines, someone in the group will sacrifice himself ... no, not to shut those never ending running engines down ... but to actually reverse them to create suction so a gas-tank that happens to be laying around nearby can be used to blow it up. now that would shut those goddamned engines down.
Oh wait, they didnt, the other ones were STILL running, aaaaargh, how the hell do you shut them off !! Human engineering, the best there is fo sho. Pretty sure 100 years later someone dives to that sunken ship and they will find it with those engines STILL running.

60. But all good and well, the survivors finally made it out, jump in the water, and lo and behold, a lifeboat is waiting for our battered beaten and bruised heroes. Normal right? Every ship has them following around, in case of an emergency those boats dont need to be deployed into the water or something, they just ..., well, follow the ship i suppose and find themselves exactly there where possible survivors will appear out of the wreckage.

61. if you shoot flares at open sea after escaping a sinking ship they will transform into helicopters.

62. If you find yourself in a just capsized ship dont ever listen to the captain because chances are he never heard of underwater pressure and just sit around and do nothing, especially NOT save his passengers. Under water pressure, bah, what are you, 5?

63. If you find yourself in a just capsized ship, not to worry, it will conveniently wait for the last survivors to disembark before sinking.

66. North Atlantic sea water instantly warms and remains crystal clear when entering a sinking ship, allowing survivors to be soaking wet for two hours with no effects from hypothermia.
