I love the way all the people ran down the dock so they could be in a perfect spot to be run over. I wish the video kept going so we could see STRIKE 2.

Only gave the vid. a quick read but it seemed like the approach was on target.  
Is it possible the crewman on the stern was supposed to let the helmsman know the range and rate of closing ?  
Most likely a comms. failure.

Tires and stern controls, all I’m saying. But Im so warped from working in the gulf that any vessel with out stern controls just looks wrong to me.
