The issue I am having a hard time understanding is the communications part of all this, or more accurately the apparent lack of communication.
If this was caused by a technical problem with the ship, why didn't the capt. notify authorities? Or did he? It appears that there are several emergency vehicles parked on the bridge with lights flashing- then they fell in the water. What was that about; why were they there? When did port authorities first know that there was a problem with the ship, and why is the media not asking that question? The last part is what is making me very suspicious.
{edit} NEW INFO
...The ship "lost propulsion" as it was leaving port, and crew on board notified Maryland officials they had lost control of the vessel, ABC News reported, citing an unclassified U.S. intelligence report...
