I have been a shore based excursion sales manager before and can tell you that it does indeed happen. I was in a port in Alaska and at minimum there would be one death a season on an excursion. It was usually something water based and an out of shape old person would fall in and have a heart attack. In fact it was usually heart attacks, cruisers don't tend to be the healthiest bunch of folks.

We had a company that rented scooters in town and man, they sent many a cruiser on an unplanned medical evac.

The other company that seemed to lose a number of customers were helicopter tours. One season there were FOUR helicopter crashes. Three of those in one day.

Can you put to rest whether polar bears are more closely related to grizzlies or coastal browns?

My bear biologist friend says coastal browns.

Edit to ask. "what kind of bear is best?"

Would these be good tools for tapping in to Mexican fuel pipelines? Asking for a friend. (While sitting in a line at a Mexican gas station in Hidalgo, NL)
