I can't wait to be one of the millions of people who would no longer consider stepping foot on that boat. It has a bad track record.

It is not it's fault, but still, much like my insurance company, I'll still remember forever.

I'm all but certain they said they were going to scrap it. There's no economical way to fix it up.

It's not British is it? Channel 4 are, but they just got the clip from AP or Routers or some such, the same as everyone else. There's nothing inherently British about the operation AFAIK.

So, how did they do this? Did they pump air into the lower decks? Pump water out of the upper decks? Stuff a bunch of foam noodles under one side?

They filled it with ping-pong balls.
