I was about to scroll past this submission when I had a sudden attack of superstition that, if I don't read it, I will eventually find myself on a sinking ship in the middle of the ocean and curse myself for not reading the damn HN article.

"Up and out." Nothing to do with Titanic, but based on reading disaster articles on Wikipedia, my advice is, if a ship you are on takes on a noticeable list, get to the high side immediately. If the list worsens, get outside on the deck. Beyond a certain point, a list has a way of accelerating, and interior corridors become canyons and floors become walls, dooming everyone on the low side.
