船难先救女士只是传说 Women not saved first in ship disasters A new study suggests that the belief that women and children are first to be saved when ships sink is largely a myth, the BBC reported.
Analysis of survivors from 18 maritime disasters shows that women have a distinct survival disadvantage, say researchers at Uppsala University in Sweden.
The report says captains and crew have a significantly higher survival rate.
The Titanic disaster, which occurred 100 years ago last week, was a rare exception because the captain threatened to shoot those who disobeyed, the reports concludes.
据英国广播公司报道,最新研究显示,轮船沉没时先救妇女和儿童的准则,很大程度上只是传说。
瑞典乌普萨拉大学的研究人员对18次海难的幸存者进行调查,结果发现,女性幸存者明显少于男性。
该报告称,船长和船员存活率显然更高一些。
报告于最后提到,上周即沉船100周年的“泰坦尼克号”是为数不多的例外,当时,船长用枪支威胁乘客服从命令,才使妇女儿童优先逃生。
