Episode 139: Women and Children First

Thanks for tuning in everybody!"Women and children first", known to a lesser extent as the Birkenhead drill, is a code of conduct whereby the lives of women and children were to be saved first in a life-threatening situation, typically abandoning ship, when survival resources such as lifeboats were limited. Notable invocations of the concept include during the 1852 evacuation of the Royal Navy troopship HMS Birkenhead, the 1857 sinking of the ship SS Central America, and most famously during the 1912 sinking of the Titanic. One might also invoke the concept after watching the first several weeks of the 2023-24 Islanders season, coupled with some ill-timed comments from a few members of the club.Here's my take on recent events.
