The loons are already out claiming it's a terrorist attack, government op, blah blah blah.

I'll go bold with my prediction. It was a mistake that was made when setting the autopilot. And it's too big a ship to correct course quickly.

Legit, I'm 100% fine with these people never getting laid or breeding.

Update from Baltimore:

The vessel lost power, warned the harbor there was going to be a collision.

Tankers take miles to stop.

@Cosmichomicide We need to let Joey know that one doesn't "drive" a boat. Pilot, steer, sometimes sail, cruise ...

@Cosmichomicide My dad made women driver jokes and it was embarrassing, but he had somewhat of an excuse in being born in 1926. He grew up clueless.

@poemblaze

Per my dad, he only made one woman driver joke. When he was a tween. To my grandmother, who was a teacher at his school.

She made him walk to and from school the rest of the week. 🤣

@poemblaze

Tailor the punishment to the crime. He was in his 40s when he told that story, so it made an impression.

@Cosmichomicide I guess my questions would be when did they start turning, when did they lose power, and how long after that did they radio in. Of course they probably did their best and saved quite a few lives. Then I assume there will be the NTSB investigation into why they lost power. Sometimes things just fail, even if well maintained and sometimes companies cut corners and regulatory agencies are understaffed. It's just not right, tragic really.
