There is some information we are not getting that would explain all this. That is why I am taking the devil's advocate position. When the media first started passing this story on, it said the Fitzgerald RAMMED the ACX Crystal.

Since it is obvious that is not what happened, why would they state that in the articles ?

I haven't seen any news stories that say Fitzgerald rammed ACX Crystal, just that they collided. They both collided with each other, so it doesn't really matter that much which order the words go in. It's the news—they don't know anything about maritime.
