Until an official military reports comes out showing this chart and ACTUAL times then I’ll be here to recant. However as with all news today the first stories aren’t the facts and in fact there has been article about this image stating the “turn” occurred after the accident. But I’ll say again NO SHIP of this size can make a hair-pin turn. These ships do not move fast or quickly at all. They are tanks on the water and take a great deal of ocean area in which to maneuver
Hairpin turn remark was relative. I understand a large freighter can’t turn on a dime.
