So... the yacht hit a tanker, and then didn't help when it sank? Effectively a hit-and-run?
If accurate, I hope they get hit hard for this. That's absurd.
- Tuna-Fish 5y agoThe yacht probably had it's own problems after the impact. The tanker wasn't that much smaller than it was.
- Groxx 5y agoI suppose. It is odd that it and those onboard are almost totally unmentioned though. If the tanker crew needed rescue and another boat took care of it, seems like either the yacht chose not to help... or was both unable to help and didn't need to be helped? I'm not seeing how the latter is feasible, unless they were sinking but repaired it enough to limp back to dock later or something. Though since they're totally unmentioned, I guess they could have even sunk too, and the people could have been onboard the rescue ship or a different unmentioned one. But that'd be weird too. Or is that kind of omission normal in an event at sea like this, showing exclusively one side's troubles? It does feel fairly formulaic / technical.
- Tuna-Fish 5y agoThe way I see it, the people on the yacht did not want to talk to the media. This was probably wise of them.
- rasz 5y agoWould you expect them to stick around with all the drugs on board?
