The East River is no fun with a running tide. I've boated through quite a few times, once on a 70 ft dinner boat that could only make 7 knots, we had the tide with us and it was faster than the boat. That was an adventure, the boat was like on ice, slipping and sliding. "Nature scares me" a quote by my friend Bob after a rough day at sea. | |||

Now make it rain swollen like I think it was from all the heavy rains the past week. How they did not check conditions and make the determination that it was not safe to move at that time, is beyond me. | |||

IT was not the fault of President Trump or DOGE. It was the fault of New York City for building a fucking bridge there. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government." Airsoftguy, June 29, 2018 | |||

Moving without any power input/directional control was the problem. | |||

Will be interesting to see what comes of the initial report. There was a tug along side but, wasn't tied to the tall-ship so, not sure what its presence was for. As for tall-ships in general, the USCGC Eagle is "America's Tall Ship' serves in a similar capacity as a training ship for its respective academy. Too bad for the loss of life, looked like a situation that required some sharper judgement. | |||

We got up close to a similar ship from the Ecuadorian Navy while in Baltimore From the deck of the USS Constellation ![]() | |||

48 hours ago that bastard didn't even know that ship was in harbor. I'd be surprised if he doesn't throw himself in the caskets of those dead kids just for the photo op. | |||

I read that tugboat pictured nearby was the one that pushed the sailboat from where it was docked into the river, but was not able to ‘catch up’ to it in time to try and ‘save’ it once the tug captain realized it was in distress. __________ "I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy." | |||

The video above shows the ship was under power and moving rapidy astern. She was moving faster than the water. Must have been an engine control problem.

^^^^^^^ Yesterday, I saw in other videos, you can clearly see a wake tailing the ship, meaning it is traveling faster than the water current. It was under power.

Chuck Schooner needs to apologize to the Mexican navy. That bridge was built on stolen land and thus, should not have been there. For the land theft, blame The Netherlands. For the building of the bridge, blame Tammany Hall, the main NYC political machine of the Democratic Party. Nice is overrated "It's every freedom-loving individual's duty to lie to the government."
