One of the biggest fears while evacuating a sinking ship is the possibility of survivors being carried away by the tide, and people getting lost at sea. The Network Tube is a rescue tube with magnetic properties and aims to form a floating cluster, bringing people together via GPS. When people huddle together, they not only boost each other’s morale, but they also increase their chances of survival.

Can you just imagine those lost on the Titanic actually being saved? When the rescue boats make it to the scene, thousands of people are clung together magnetically, forming a little floating island of people. So I wonder if all the cruise ships are providing network tubes for all their passengers now? Is it costly or priced so that it can be used universally on all ships?
