Does it take a damn software developer to suggest that you could just let pigs **** on their own and find something better to do with your time all day than jacking off boars?

If it make you feel better the harbor pilot was probably jerking the wheel like it was attached to prized swine balls.

All reports say the harbor pilots were already aboard.

They must get on very early in the harbor and I did not see an escort tug, which occurs often.

This harbor must have different rules and maybe it is bridge related.

The captain can still do what he wants in essence.

If the captains a control freak and won't listen to others, then that's the way it goes.

I realize that everyone wants to just throw aside the cyber attack angle but, I think it's at least worth some consideration. Here's some good discussion on this, from all angles, if anyone cares to look at it with an open mind.

IMO, you can't say one way or the other this soon. There has to be some investigation first.

Why does every event have to be some shadowy conspiracy?
