On the surface of this, I don’t see anything deliberate. Not ruling anything out. But system/power failure with a freighter moving at 8 knots in a channel can be catastrophic. Couple that with the mayday signals and it doesn’t seem like this was an attack.

Seriously unfortunate set of events. But for as bad as it is, it could have been 10 fold if it occurred 7 hours earlier.

I think if they would have had a few of them around this accident could have been avoided. My understanding is that the ship lost power and lost directional control. Tug boat(s) could have steered it in a safe direction.

There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't.
