    Excuse me, wtf? You’re not “discounting”, but indirectly condemning the whole crew when obviously it was the navigator and captain responsible for the negligence? Not only that, but almost indirectly affirming that they all deserve to be there?

    “Oh I’m sorry, but this is ancient Egypt and you must be buried with the pharaoh.”

    Prick. And no, don’t come at me with “but those 6 people who died”, because that justifies nothing.

      The ship had an engineering casualty which led to a loss of control. The navigator didn’t decide to drive into the bridge.

      The captain is ultimately responsible, but the crew is not without fault.

        Held without trial and modern America. Name a more iconic duo, I’ll wait.

            Yeah, you did. You basically indirectly justified it, a favoured tactic by republican think tanks.

            “Corporate punishment is bad because the state shouldn’t get to kill people.”

            “BUT WHAT ABOUT THE RAPIST’S AND PEDOPHILES AND ALL THE EVIL PEOPLE incidentally I’m pro-life”…

            Same energy and tactic, bro.

            I’m glad that you don’t agree with the treatment of the crew by the American government.

        For someone with such strong opinions about this, I don’t think you know much about the operation of cargo ships…
