How can a ship with modern navigational aids sail into the middle of a hurricane?

Here she is - doesn’t sound good that she lost propulsion.

Prayers for the crew.

Almost 30 hours since the call came in and nothing. Doesn’t sound good
that no one has heard or sighted anything related to the ship.

I requested the mods to replace my breaking news post with yours. Always hoping but this is shaping to be one of the worst maritime disasters in this hemisphere in many years. 33 crew. God help them.

Was the captain yelling allah akbar when he knowingly decided to sail directly into a hurricane? No way a sane person would.

If the ship sinks then the company should not be able to receive the insurance money. No one in his right mind sails into a hurricane.

I think I know that ship. It was moored in Baltimore Harbor when I first moved here six years ago.

Hat tip to the Coast Guard. When we all wonder why anyone would sail into a storm like this they do because it’s their job.
