The 1987 Herald of Free Enterprise disaster was caused by the failure to close the bow doors, which allowed water to flood the car deck and capsize the ship. The Assistant Bosun, Mark Stanley, was responsible for closing the doors but had fallen asleep in his cabin after his shift; he remained asleep until the ship began to capsize. The Bosun, Terence Ayling, was the last person on the car deck but testified during the official inquiry that he did not close the doors because he believed it was not his specific duty, nor was he required to check if the Assistant Bosun was present. The inquiry, led by Mr. Justice Sheen, famously described the company's management as "infected with the disease of sloppiness." While legal proceedings for manslaughter were brought against the company and several individuals (including the Captain and Chief Officer), the cases eventually collapsed. The disaster led to a permanent change in maritime law, making it a legal requirement for bow doors to be monitored from the bridge.
[Clarification: Disney Genie+ was rebranded to Lightning Lane Multi Pass in late 2024] Yes, you can add the Lightning Lane Multi Pass (formerly Genie+) to your trip later, but the process depends on whether you are at Disneyland or Walt Disney World. At Walt Disney World, you can purchase it through the My Disney Experience app starting 7 days in advance for Disney Resort guests and 3 days in advance for all other guests. At Disneyland Resort, you can either purchase it as an add-on when you first buy your ticket or buy it on the day of your visit once you have entered the theme park. In 2026, it is highly recommended to purchase it as early as your eligibility window opens, as the price is dynamic and can vary based on demand. Furthermore, the "Multi Pass" allows you to pre-select three attractions before you arrive, so waiting until the day of your visit may result in popular rides having no available time slots left for the day.
