Rats run from the sinking ship, it a well-known proverb. I think it is misinterpreted: rats are not cowardly, they are quite intelligent mammals. It is the smart ones who have the hindsight and flee to save themselves and their families.

@academicalnerd Anyone smart would run from a sinking ship.

I kinda have to conclude from this that most captains were not very smart…

Also, didn’t you mean foresight? If it’s hindsight, isn’t it too late already?

Indeed, I meant foresight. It’s difficult to think straight these days, let alone speak.
