    fucking hate how every piece of footage I’ve seen has been “lol, mexicans cant drive boats!!!” comments when the footage has an engine powered boat moving backwards into the bridge

    like shit yeah, maybe in a better case scenario the anchor could have been dropped faster or whatever, but this clearly isn’t just someone steering wrong

    I see a tugboat moving alongside in some of the videos. There has also been reports of the ship losing power. Sounds like a lot of failures piling up together to create this accident. Some of those were on the ship, but also possibly from the tugboat(s) and crews.
