The sailboats that show up about halfway through the video look awfully
close to that tanker.

As an allegedly accomplished photographer who claims to have been
published in several magazines (of course while trying to pass an owl
picture off as his own) you should know there is this phenomenon called
"depth-of-field".

Asshole. There is something called "depth of field" and it made my hand
looked so bloated that it was attached to someone who is super morbidly
obese. I really am very trim and in perfect health, it was depth of
field that made my hand look extremely fat and pudgy.

Probably due to tele-photo lenses

Who had the right of way here?

or how about here?

You gotta remember that the larger the vessel, the slower the response
time.

The boat from which the vid was taken, obviously. However, it had
nothing to do with the size of either boat. I would assign 90% blame
to the sailboat and 10% to the larger boat. It was a crossing
situation, but the bigger boat didn't attempt (as far as can be seen
or heard) to either take evasive action or sound an alarm... five or
more beeps I believe.

In the case of the second vid, my reading of the rules are that it was
a crossing situation, so the boat being hit was probably "right" but
should have tried to avoid the collision. And, the boat that was
taking the vid should have avoided the situation. I would assign 60%
fault to the boat from which the vid was taken and 40% to the boat
that was hit.

I'm sure there is precedence that the court would look at also.

Bull****. If the judge or any juror was a sailor, the sailboat owner is
toast.

Quit playing lawyer. You aren't any good at it and you don't have the
skills to interpret correctly what you read. Someone should assign you
to an asylum. Just my two cents. ;-)

Looks like it should have been "the people that didn't die"...
