“We don’t know what else to say. We take such great pride in safety, and we have cones and signs and lights and barriers and flaggers.”
Well, that… sounds more like a joke: “we had cones, but the ship still struck them” 🙄
On a more serious note, there are several questions as to how could this end up happening. Some say the ship had its steering damaged in Antwerp some years ago, some float other rumors. The lead of the transport safety commission seemed to be more on point: there is a lot to analyze, they may say more tomorrow, and all of it will take a lot of time anyway.
