What I read was sandstorm reducing vis to zero with high winds. I presume their radar is good enough to see the canal, but if it was a quartering gale wind that would be hard for any pilot. If he or she stopped or reversed engines to come to a dead halt I would have thought it would not have buried itself in the side. But stopping something that large... Storm could have hit so suddenly that they couldn’t halt fast enough.

As soon as they assume responsibility on the bridge it’s their problem.

If they had dredged it to 450 meters, that sucker could have done a little spin. The other solution would be to only allow ships that are < 200 meters long. bp<part15sbs{at}gmail{dot}com>On 3/29/2021 11:59 AM, Jaime Solorza wrote: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list [email protected] http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
