Subject: Seamanship Question #15 Props
From:

The issue of whether the city's liability can be drastically limited for the
crash turns on whether the ferry management had
"privity or knowledge" of the negligence that led to crash. The ferry pilot,
Richard Smith, pleaded guilty in August to seaman's
manslaughter charges, admitting he passed out at the wheel from fatigue and
the effects of medication.

Like I said, the man was not fit to pilot that ferry . . . Damned druggie!

ROFL NOT a chance!
When the NTSB report comes out ( I believe Jeff's right .... too early for this
one) I'll decide whether you made a lucky guess or not.
Till then, take any news reports and politically motivated court decisions and
stick them where the sun don't shine.
Cheer up, though, you could be partially correct ... if so, not from any first
hand knowledge on your part.
