The aim of this story is to show that seemingly impossible things can be done. Also, they can be done by the unlikeliest groups. Good communication, a spirit of openness and support is needed to achieve this solution. The story also aims to update the helpful, but insufficiently perilous, bathtub analogy. In the bathtub analogy, the floor gets wet, but no one dies. In the Titanic analogy, the ship represents a habitable environment. If the ship sinks everyone ultimately dies. Anyone who managed to get onto a lifeboat is only prolonging their suffering, as there are no rescue ships if the habitable ecosphere is lost.
Our experts have classified this solution as ‘audacious’ (high gain and high risk).
