A longer story in the paper wouldn't alter the facts in this case. The ship is on a reef in an area that the thing should not have been. Reminds me of the much more tragic story of the pilot who took off from the wrong runway. I'm sure he was highly qualified as well. As Bill says, "Eternal Vigilance is the Price of Success at Sea." The captain could have been in the galley for all we know but, no matter, the ship is his responsibility.
