Two killed by toxic gases when dismantling famed ship.
Two workers in Turkey who were dismantling the famed former Pacific Princess have tragically been killed by noxious gases in the ship's engine room, according to local reports.
The ship, which was made famous by the wildly popular 1970s and 1980s ABC television show "The Love Boat," had arrived in a scrapyard in Turkey to be disassembled for parts.

(16,993 posts)Too small now. Because everyone who takes a cruise today wants thousands of others on board so everything is congested, noisy, and dirty.
Of course, you have to have ten Olympic-sized swimming pools on board, 50 restaurants of varying themes, 100 bars of varying themes, 2,000 square foot suites, and at least a dozen casinos.
Personally, I'd rather have fewer people, less noise, and a little more peaceful atmosphere to relax. Of course, raw sewage streaming down the halls, no electricity, spoiled food, and being stranded somewhere is always a lot of fun.
I feel bad for the families of those who were killed. Such a waste.
