GPSs don’t care about fog,
and they’ll tell you EXACTLY where you are on your nautical charts…
they *did* have nautical charts of the bay, didn’t they?? If they had a
GPS running and had their charts out, there is NO POSSIBLE WAY they could hit the bridge without knowing it was coming!!

This is simply a criminal act on the part of the pilot, who is paid to
move ships around the bay safely. He should be fired from his job,
fined $10,000 for every bird and fish he just killed, and then should be
dumped in the middle of his oil and allowed to swim home with the seals.
