I'd like to know when a big ship got so responsive to steering that you could turn so fast you'd tip it over. I've done that in a 16 foot Sunfish sailing boat, but it's hard to believe you could do it with a ship that size.

Hi All-

I'd like to see a graphic representation of what the passengers felt was the extent of the "lean" on the ship since I can't seem to picture what they're saying in my mind. My inclination is to believe a phantom wave crashed into the ship to cause the damage that apparently happened. How can a ship that enormous have reacted to any steering, navigational, or engine inputs that quickly?

My first thought was that perhaps the ship had a glancing blow with a submarine. Don't know whether that could cause the list in this case.

Agree those ships don't turn quickly, but they can turn on a dime with the thrusters.

Ships that big have 'thrusters' to allow for in port manuevering.

What happens when you turn it full sideways and crank it up high?

The ship did turn, that is a fact. If it was not due to a mistake or deliberate sabotage, what caused it?
