I Know this is the wrong thread/forum but....!

Has the world gone mad!?!?

Yet ANOTHER Vessel has hit the submerged ship in the English Channel!

A simplified view maybe, but as this this is one of the busiest shipping lanes in the world this is like.....

.......CRAP!

I am sure sure this NOTAM'd (tenuous link!) let alone SHP-TAM'd!!!!

Surely HM Coastguard aren't that busy!

I thought that the tankers had a TCAS-ish warning system.

(Maybe it's a "TCAS warning - your supertanker will hit in 28 hours!!)

And BOTH ships that hit sailed from local ports!!!!

I find keeping fast moving aircraft in a 3D enviroment hard - but what do the coastguards do all day???
