Fascinating conversation. I would never have noticed it myself, but David's comment about the illuminated bridge makes complete sense to me..
It's always nice to see posts from you, David. I am very glad to hear that you have ordered this model set and hope that it means you are able to build paper ship models again. Don |

It's the same reason airliner cockpits are dark during night flights, though the rest of the plane is lit. Even before cockpit bulkheads and doors, you had a curtain to keep cabin light from entering the pilot section.
Don, thanks for your kind comments. It's been a long "dry period" while taking care of my parents and handling their final matters (Mom passed away nearly two years ago), but in recent weeks I've been busy building other paper models. More on this soon... David T. Okamura |

Thanks, Herky, but I was just joking about the bridge lights being on. Nothing in the accident reports mentioned this.
There's a good account published decades ago by Alvin Moscow called "Collision Course". I still have Mom's Reader's Digest condensed book series with that one included (1959). David T. Okamura |
