Fun fact
— GBH 🦁☝️ Remilio (@xbtGBH) March 26, 2024
That boat had a full 22 person crew all from India
India literally jeeted the bridge https://t.co/OuXf1o2G8W
Community notes are quick to the rescue
https://abcnews.go.com/Business/massive-ship-bali-crashed-baltimores-francis-scott-key/story
Turns out that unsurprisingly the people who crashed the ship are locals
Seething at the loss, rightoids decide to blame Ukrainian refugees instead, as if to say "we are still correct" https://x.com/ProjectCaracas/status/1772641870054563910
Once again, community notes prove him wrong. Turns out it is no refugee, but a guy that worked as master for the ship 8 years ago, and had nothing to do with it now.

Others correct the chuddies that even according to law, the ship must be piloted by a Marylander

But the chuddies won't be convinced, as they're allergic to facts and logic

I'm sure the local pilots that got on board an hour before the crash are fully responsible for the engine and power failure caused by long-term maintenance issues

Not really. The loss of power is what caused the accident. There's nothing the pilot could have done to stop a 100,000 ton ship without power.

That ain't what rightoids were saying when they thought it was being steered by Captain Jeet.

But Captain jeet his responsible for the maintenance of his vessel. Pilots are for the last section of the waterway.

The crew doesn't maintain it either, they're assigned from a pool for one voyage on one ship. But owner is from a country no one wants to blame lol.

This shit is so complicated these days. You got ships owned by Japanese investors with a Liberian flag rented out to a Greek company that pays a German company to manage it that hires an Indonesian crew.

A pilot for an airplane isn't responsible for day-to-day maintenance, either, but they are responsible for certifying that it's fit to fly before taking it to the runways. I don't know how that responsibility maps to the local pilots vs. the crew staffing, but responsibility almost certainly falls on the active operators of the ship in some ways.

When the door blew out of the Boeing who was blamed? Not the pilot obviously lol its not his job checking doors. Pilot can only check what sensors show him, if you don't do regular do overs with technicians any larger machine will fall apart.

We don't know yet whether the crew or pilots ignored indicators of failure, though.
