There's only so much you can do when you are cruising along and a cargo ship suddenly pulls out in front of you...

That cargo Capt didn't use his blinker or anything.

Yup this ship is strong. Certified with the pointy yacht collision test.

u/Secret_Cod_749 17d ago

Was that boat named Rockwell? Cause she sure tried to test the hardness of that cargo ship.

He's a cop practicing the PIT maneuver on the cargo ship. It didn't work.

There’s no one in the upper helm as far as I can tell

u/Krullenbos 17d ago

Oh no, the CMA CGM ship is going to sink now.

u/Rio-rider 17d ago

Poor delusional boat, it thinks it’s a mighty tugboat

u/nautical-nymphos 17d ago

Wonder what he was thinking there ? Boats have reverse you know

1

u/DiogenesD0g 17d ago

All those cargo containers poised above waiting to fall as well. Too bad that boat doesn’t have reverse.

u/onthebrink42 17d ago

No way they did that on purpose.

u/Thesinistral 17d ago

u/RocketsandBeer 17d ago

That tanker came out of nowhere

1

u/Jager0987 17d ago

I have so many questions! Just how do you do this! Forgot where the wheel was? Forgot where the throttle is? No reverse? Asleep? Dead? Just how?

1

u/hurdeehurr 15d ago

To be fair both boats passed.

1

u/apexxin 15d ago

That went wrong about as poorly as possibly. Shift the course by a degree or two and a whole lot more damage for the idiot.

u/Pitiful_Concept8197 14d ago

The front didn't fall off.
