Not being a ship's captain, I simply can't understand how you collide with something as large as a tanker.
Did he not see it? Did they not heed the harbormaster?
I know it takes awhile to stop one of these beasts, but c'mon.......
Steer man steer!
Can't imagine not being able to get out of the way...
I'm with you on that. These ships were 27 miles north of Port Said---that's open ocean. Even taking into account the funneling effect of the Suez Canal, it's still mind boggling to me that there can be a collision like this, especially with today's navigation and collision avoidance technologies.
