Almost lost in the sauce yesterday, what with an air traffic control situation that appears to trace to antiquated technology and an incompetent fix, was a hair-raising allision between a docked river cruise boat and a much-larger asphalt carrier. It could have been catastrophic on a lot of levels.
One of my sources in understanding shipping issues is a guy named Sal Mercagliano - a seasoned shipping expert. He was big into tracking what was going on with the M/V Dali incident in Baltimore, and he's on top of this one.
This video is his prelim look at the incident. He draws no conclusions but points some things out, based on his many decades of experience in maritime matters. The vid is 27 minutes long but offers some good insights.
Had to look it up, but now I know what an allision is. The spell checker doesn't, though.
