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)

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.
