O.K., I am not a sea captain....BUT I have achieved Coxswain status with the U.S, Coast Guard Auxiliary (Vessel Commander).....I understand the facts of vessels moving in water.
HOW did a Captain of a HUGE cruise vessel manage to go aground???? The Italian sinking because of going aground hard enough to rupture the hull is amazing to me.
ANY vessel of this size has a set of equipment which should make it aware of any place where they may be located....INSTANTLY! They should know position within a few feet, depth of water, etc.
Someone Fxxxxx up in a really BIG WAY!
This should never happen in this day and age.

The Captain was drinking or on drugs...wanna bet?? Dianne
ReplyDeleteHe ordered the boat closer in to "wave at a friend???????" This man should not be allowed in a row boat!
