WHY did someone send a lunker into that kind of weather ?
Captain's last words ... "Hold m'beer ?"
My thoughts exactly. In 2015 all ships have more than advanced warning not to “set sail” into a hurricane.
That ship should have never been ordered out. I expect law suits against the ship’s company from the families and rightly so
It was still a tropical storm when they left Jacksonville, but all of the models pointed towards rapid intensification. And, with all the uncertainty regarding its track, you’ve got to wonder why they didn’t delay the departure, or take a different route. Reportedly, there are three different routes for container ships sailing between Jacksonville and San Juan. It would be interesting to see how those tracks compared to the path of the storm.
Terrible tragedy.
probably ‘cause the damn company owner said”...you will make this delivery on time, or lose your job...”
