His ability, or lack thereof, to handle a boat is proven. He
failed to handle the boat. He passed out at the wheel and
when he woke up he jammed the throttle full speed ahead
in his confusion. He KILLED a dozen people and maimed
scores more. It is inexcusable that a man like this was
allowed to pilot that boat. That's a fact and your bias will
not change the fact.

Like your course changes in fog, you're basing your
conclusions/decisions, on scanty information .......
When the full medical report of this guy comes out, they'll be able to
tell whether this was or was not the full or significant cause.
How anyone may react, knowing they may be or are, responsible for the
deaths of a number of people, for whatever reason, is subject to many
factors, most of which have little bearing on his ability to handle the
boat.

I have to wonder what makes you write something like that.

Did you click the link and read the report in the Post?

Would you say the suicidal captain is normal? It it normal
to run away from a wreck you caused and then slit your
wrists and shoot yourself with a pellet gun?

Would you say it's OK to be a captain while having
such a severe blood pressure problem that passing out
is the result of forgetting to take a pill?

Like I said. The man needed a better physical exam and
he certainly needs psychological help. He was unsuited
to be driving a ferry with so many lives at stake. Perhaps
there might be some good come of this trajedy. Perhaps
the Coast Guard will tighten up their qualifications because
as it stands now too many unqualified captains are falling
through the cracks.

How you arrive a the stupid conclusions you do arrive at, on any
subject you
post about, is beyond me.
