Does radar not work in sandstorms?

I read it was a 40knot wind + sandstorm.  Radar would have been about as useful 
as our radios as in why bother to turn it on.  Plus any idea how much surface 
area that thing had?  In a 40 knot gale?  My question is, what were they doing 
with anchors if they weren't deploying them?

    Since every ship transits the canal with a certified pilot on board, I want 
to know the story from the pilot. As soon as they assume responsibility on the 
bridge it’s their problem.



    Thank you,

    You see, the root cause is that the canal is only 200 meters wide. 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.
