My mother just told me about a man who was given a choice by a boat captain to either leave people in the water or take his dying wife to shore to get her to a hospital. If they had taken the time to rescue the other people, his wife would have died. He chose to save his wife. He said that if he had to do it all over again he would do the same thing, but he would be haunted by the people's faces for the rest of his life.
