Моряк и служащий Coast Guard о том, что бывает с людьми в авариях на море

Maybe another person could’ve handled the situation, but all that matters is what the skipper and crew felt they could handle. Once panic sets in, rational thought goes out the window and simple tasks become impossible. Hands no longer function and minds get stuck in loops of terror. Ever try to talk to someone panicking? It doesn’t work. In the CG we picked up people who didn’t know what planet they were on and they weren’t even hypothermic. Their minds had gone into some vague shutdown mode where their unblinking faces looked like wax horror figures frozen in time. I have seen these events permanently change people’s brains. They are never the same.
