There is only one transit a day made and it will include well over 100 ships in each direction and Egypt charges at least $250,000 per vessel for the transit. The canal is a major money maker for Egypt and they are not going to be so careless as to allow a vessel to transit in heavy winds. I do not buy the story they are pushing. I am a retired QMC and navigation was my profession for 25 years as a professional sailor in the USN. Amarillo is an interesting choice for a retired Quartermaster. I teach NJROTC. Only 620 high schools in the nation offer the program. One of them is in Amarillo and it is one of the oldest units in the nation. Established 51 years ago.

Well you got a 1,400 foot long vessel stacked to the gills with containers. Lot of surface area acting like a wind sail. You're required to hire an egyptian to pilot the darn thing thru the canal. I'm sure he had 100's of hours piloting this specific vessel (not). Freak wind hits the ship and pilot doesn't know what the fakk to do. These are highly maneuvarable ships, you know? Or the egyptian pilot simply pulled a Hazlewood.

No matter how obviously something is an accident, you mental giants instantly leap to the conclusion that it must somehow be a nefariously planned event. Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult.
