EVER GIVEN Captain & Crew Under Areast!
? Research Wanted ?
Why arrest them for an accident caused by the wind?

I kind of hope so. Why the pilot drew the diagram he did with his maneuvers before entering the canal...not sure if white hats would have done that but maybe an inside joke.
Remember the Navy pilot? His commanding officers flight name was 'Tes'.
His last name was 'Stickels'
Commander Tes Stickels
I heard from the boatfags it was running 8 knots which was speeding for the canal, and zero brakes were applied. What company in their right mind would allow a captain to draw a giant cocknbawlz for the whole world to see and then speed through one of the most important trade routes in the world and get lodged without braking?? I call white hat hacking.
At impact, it was running 12.2-13.5 knots (depending on the source). It had been running 12-13 knots for most of the transit before grounding. 8.6 knots is the maximum allowed speed limit in the canal.

Thanks for the correction, didn't realize it was so much faster than the limit...
You bet. Yeah, they were really cookin'. Makes you wonder if they were running from something.... Nah. Whoever was in control was going for maximum ramming speed.
Ships don't have brakes. They have big engines that take a while to stop and reverse. And doing that means you lose steering control.
Pilot would not have been on board yet. Captain would have been resting for the transit. 2nd or 3rd mate did it.
I mean, NASA did it with the Mars rover lmao.
