Isn’t the whole point of having river pilots and paying them $700k a year to avoid this?

Long term traumatic effects from the near miss, emotional pain and suffering

Sounds like medical assistance was requested/provided. One call, that’s all.

No one thought of pulling out their phone to catch the ordeal? I don’t care where pool water went.

I watched your clip. It has no mention of what your title says.

Post less. Go away.

Both ships should have had a pilot on board…. Can’t talk bad about the river pilot mafia tho!

Underrated comment by a light year. Good thing for cargo captain is only a few could try to board without the fear of falling into the Sip and having to swim out. The yelling and racket would've been hell, though.

Really cool how those cargo ships can just lose all power and control.

Ahhhh. The Valor.

I won 11 jackpots on a 4 day cruise on that ship.

9 were on the same machine.

Glad it didn't get damaged.
