244,
Yes, I had a similar reaction.
We understand the issues and the reasons for this terrible incident……..we do not need to wait for the NTSB.
There are some positives. I have contacted some former Check Pilot colleagues and suggested that they now introduce a new scenario into their simulation matrix…….a jammed CPP. I never saw this during my entire training period.
In a couple of months, it will all be forgotten…….just like the “Dali” and the “Ever Forward”.
The feedback will be interesting.

I just saw a video from one of the NYC news stations that basically said the Mexican navy is throwing the pilot under the bus. But I don’t think that dog will hunt.
I think I saw the same clip, bumbling local news reporting at its worst, “Now hear this!! New Info, Investigators going in a totally different direction!! Wasn’t at all related to the engine!!! Mexican navy says it was the Pilot!!! You can see the USCG on there, I know because his shirt says USCG”.
Cue to the quote from the Mexican navy mentioning simply that the vessel was following the orders of the state required pilot from the time she left the berth until she hit the bridge. News reporter not knowledgeable enough or caring to understand that giving orders matters very little if the propulsion plant isn’t following them.
