The vessel from which the footage was taken was in this instance the "give
way vessel" under both Inland and International Rules. It almost appears
that this vessel had no one at the helm and was proceeding on autopilot and
without a lookout, but that's speculation.

Nowadays when I see situations like this, involving at least one commercial
vessel, and endangering so many passengers, I am no longer surprised. This
happens all too often and is quite preventable.
