airsaylongcome:Yeah but the chance of surviving the 2 modes of transportation is extremely low when there is an accident The reason why there are so many road accident is resting on the fact that there are so many commuters moving to different destination at the same time and their is chance of accident occuring from this case but the survival rate is higher than the 2 If a car malfunction u can come down and call ur mechanic If a plane has an engine defect on the air with no airport closeby their will be problem likewise if their is a leakage in a boat or ship or a case of bad weather this is always fatal with 0-1 survival in comparison to road.

A life jacket can help keep one afloat only if you know how to use it. It's one of the many Life-Saving Appliances that are mandatory for use onboard by the IMO International Convention for the Safety Of Life At Sea (SOLAS'74) as amended. kingreign: |

I must commend you Kingreign for sharing your experience on this trip here with us. I've used that route in the recent past for up to ten(10) good times via speed boat. I can tell you my experiences and how risky the trips were as at that time, either due to the nature of the speed boats, or the nonchalant attitude of the coxswain or the seastead. In fact, in one of those 10 times, our speed got spoiled in the middle of the water and we were at the mercy of God and that of the current and waves until God brought one empty speed boat our way and we were trans-shifted into the boat, and we made our way back to Oron where we came from. Another terrible experience was when I traveled from Oron to Tinapa for a training workshop, in the middle of that water our speed boat nearly broke into two, and water started gushing in, one of us had to take a scooper and scoop water out of the boat throughout the remaining part of that trip, everyone was scared and only pray that we made it to land safely, and thank God we made it to Tinapa safely. This was my last trip via this route, and that was in 2017. But with this Ferry Service, I believe it's much safer to use this route from now henceforth. I have also used speed boats and ferries to cross from CMS to Apapa several times in Lagos. kingreign: 3 Likes |
