Even if there are non accidental “accidents”, and I believe there are, these will be in addition to actual accidents.

I have not read the latest on this accident as I keep reading opinions that it was an intentional ramming and that simply cannot be the cases given the fact that it did lose power. Even with forward momentum, steering becomes impossible below a certain speed. Currents and winds contrary to when you want to go make the speed higher than if they were in a helping aspect towards the vessel. Thus it is difficult to continue reading any piece that states that this was intentional.

I did catch though, that supposedly there is some missing minutes of the bridge recording on the “black box”. If this is the case, I’d bet it was because the bridge crew was talking about their exploits ashore and do not want them to become public, especially for their families, Sailors being sailors.
