I wonder who is at fault? Within the Bay, big boats have to use San Francisco Bar Pilots... captains whose only job it is to guide ships in and out local waters.

I think there were probably some language issues. In many cultures, "AAAIIIIEEEEEE!" can be interpreted as both "Turn Left!" and "Turn Right!".

Those goddamn Sunis tried to wreck the bridge on purpose.

I hope it was serious enough to merit a boat closure, because . . . ACK! I wouldn't want to be on a boat with a giant chunk like that whacked out of it.
