FILE- This Feb. 6, 2015, file photo shows the electrified third rail, bottom, that runs next to Metro-North Railroad tracks in Valhalla, N.Y. Federal investigators have concluded that a fiery crash between a commuter train and an SUV that killed six people in the suburbs in 2015 was extra deadly because of an unusual rail design, a U.S. official told The Associated Press on Monday, July 24, 2017. The rail was an under-running or under-riding design, in which a metal shoe slips underneath the electrified third rail, rather than skimming along the top. (AP Photo/Mark Lennihan, File)

In this Thursday, July 6, 2017 photo, researchers Scott Joblin, from left, and Ilona Mettiainen, wear life vests during a safety drill with fellow personnel aboard the Finnish icebreaker MSV Nordica as it sails the North Pacific Ocean to traverse the Arctic's Northwest Passage. The MSV Nordica icebreaker has all the safety equipment of a modern oceangoing vessel, plus some more because it works in hostile and remote Arctic waters. In a general emergency, such as a hole in the hull, those aboard would grab a survival suit stowed beneath each bunk and head for one of two muster stations on deck to don a life vest.
