“That guy in Aurora, CO who abandoned his injured wife and children in the movie theater supports this study.”

That really happened? I missed that.

Recall the recent grounding of a cruise ship in the Mediterranean where the ships captain abandoned ship and was told by the coast guard that he had to return to his ship and he deliberately ignored the command.

One of the only good stories about that incident is that the captain of a sister ship, who happened be on his own vacation, saw that the situation was getting out of control and just took command. Even though it wasn't his ship, he started evacuating people 15 minutes before the crew sounded the alarm. Nice to know there are some people left who take their honor and positions seriously.

Article leave a lot out.. Like the cultures involved.

Women and children first is largely a concept of Western Culture.

Muslim cultures value children and women only above their last deposit in the privy.
