“But in all my experience, I have never been in any accident…of any sort worth speaking about. I have seen but one vessel in distress in all my years at sea. I never saw a wreck and never have been wrecked nor was I ever in any predicament that threatened to end in disaster of any sort.”
E.J. Smith, 1907, Captain, RMS Titanic
(The above quote was taken from The Black Swan by Nassim Nicholas Taleb)
