A hundred starship captains, bored with life in the Federation, decide to form a line of ships and let them plunge straight into an enormous spherically symmetrical black hole - one right after the other.
The black hole is so large that the tidal forces don't destroy the starships as they cross the horizon. What does the 50th captain see, the moment their starship crosses the horizon?
(Suppose there's no accretion disk or other junk blocking the view.)

@johncarlosbaez trick question, time stops at the horizon, they never actually "cross" it
@starwall @johncarlosbaez If I'm not mistaken, to us viewing the process from a distance, time stops at the horizon, but to the occupants of the ship, all proceeds normally and they pass through.
Or I could be wrong. Hahaha.
