I was listening to Bud Headinger on his morning show on the radio and he was very sure that the passengers should have had the option of leaving on the life-boats. I don't think that would have been safe. I think the life boats are only for a disaster, when the ship is in danger of sinking. Is that what you meant by transferring? Using life boats?
