naval collision

Sooooo, where do you thing that he'll be working tomorrow????

unless he encountered a MAJOR mechanical failure.

kind of make bumping inot a dock seem a little mild.
 
Geez, unless his throttle was stuck.......why the h#ll didn't he just slow down or stop?????/
 
One of the comments indicated that was a German naval exercise. Germans may make great engineers, but these guys should have stayed at the bierfest.
 
what was with all of the laughing? there's gotta be more to the story

You ever try to slow down or stop right after you cross a wake ?

Not to mention the faact that slowing down or stopping ships like these isn't like it is in our boats. It takes a lot longer especially when you're going full speed ahead!
 
That looks like a typical saturday on the Great South Bay but with Sea Ray's and Go Fasts!

Short of a complete steering and throttle failure that was one of the biggest acts of gross negligence by a skipper commanding a vessel that I have ever seen! From the second video it does not sound like there was any emergency before the collision (Crew laughing, no danger sound signal).

I would think the skipper not only lost his job but may have gone to jail if anyone was injured as a result of that collision.

Lack of proper look-out on the turning boat, in the form of tunnel vision, comes to mind, first. Sure, it's common sense; but, not everyone has common sense. For those who lack common sense, it's also the law.
