Ship crashes into Panama Canal..Yes it really did.

[Stuart G]

This happened in April 2014...Kind of a follow up to the one I posted earlier in the Video and Multi-Media Main Forum....I looked around, and found a whole bunch of videos of ships crashing into piers, docks, canals etc.
This was a high quality one..I thought the crash yesterday was the only one of its kind..Nope, evidently this happens more often than we would expect.

1. Steering in water is a whole lot different than steering on land.

Trust me. Been there done that, only much smaller boat.

2. How do you mess up when so much is at stake; cargo, ships, docks and piers, etc.

3. what's interesting about this is that there are trained pilots that take the ships through the canal

it's not the ships captain.

someone needs more training.
