AFAIS, the AG video is no longer on the web in the full 4 minute plus (or sum such) version. That long video from the AG is the one that is most damning to the Whaler Captain, IMHO.

The SM2 didn't turn because of "waves." The SM2 made a radical turn to starboard and rammed the Ady Gil because the SM2 helmsmen turned the wheel.
Yeah, of a bunch of cowboys who dont exactly seem to care for two seconds about the noice and just mock it..Seems to paint a clear picture doesn't it...

And of an Ady Gil that is not exactly "dead in the water"..
Because some people are Cowboys doesn't give anyone the right to use deadly force against them. There seems to be an element of morality and common decency missing here.
Who feels that if someone ticks you off that this gives you a right to kill them? :gun:
Hello.... Beam me up Scotty....
I agree that deadly force is never justified however they have a history of this.....and they usually move. I still say it is 100% clear that the AG had plenty of time to figure it out and move......stupidity ran rampant on that boat at that time. They could have moved and chose not to.
Maybe because me and the other guys who dont feel sorry for the SS crew think they only got a taste of their own medicine?If 98 year old with Alzheimer's wanders out onto the street and sits down in the middle of the road day after day, it might tick-off the neighbors. It doesn't however give them the right to see him, change direction and run over him no matter how ticked-off they get.
It doesn't matter if he is "stupid," protesting the speed limit, or just acting disorderly. These "crimes" are not offenses punishable by death. You can't try to kill people unless they are putting your life in immediate danger by their actions and there is no other way to prevent it. This wasn't the case, so why is this not being realized here?
