You didn't read the accompanying story with the video did you?

... or even google up the other stories about it.

So, you didn't read where I said, "The only thing I didn't see (hear)
was lack of warning from the tanker, but it's possible that happened
and we just didn't hear it in the vid."

If you think I have some obligation to do tons of research to be
perfect, you're mistaken. So, you win. I didn't read the entire quote
below the vid. Big deal. My statement stands as written.

Tons of research? You did not e=ven read the commentary on the You
Tube video where it said the tanker was honking his horn the whole
time.,

Thus, you claiming that I was wrong when I said "it's possible that
happened." Question: What's your problem?

You are trolling again
The ORIGINAL video had a description of the accident and you didn't
read it, you started popping off about how the tanker should have
blown his horn (which he did) ... like the sailboat didn't see that
big red mother honker coming.

If you were willing to do a little more research you would see the
yachting people saying this guy was trying to advance his position in
the race by taking a stupid chance with the tanker.

I hope they charge him for a paint job on the tanker.

I know it breaks your ambulance chasing heart but this is not going to
court. it happened Aug 8 and they are still in the investigation but
there will not be a court case., The Brits are not as tort driven as
we are. To start with LOSER PAYS!

Most tort lawsuits that are initiated never go to court. The parties'
insurance companies usually prefer a settlement to the uncertainties and
time frame of litigation.

Or are you claiming there will be no civil lawsuits between the tanker
and the sailboat owners?
