That ship is nowhere like ships in the past 100 years. It is also unlike the vast number of ships today. But whatever. I just find it amusing that you think massive ships respond instantaneously to course corrections like a Formula 1 car. They start course changes miles in advance. They are long, and heavy and far from responsive. The reason they need several tug boats in port.

I find it equally amusing that you think a wind that breaks twigs moves ocean going ships.
OMG. Think about what you just said ! Think real hard. Goodby I'm done.
Let's see if the report on what happened goes with your "wind" theory :)
