You are rushing to judgement. If the ship had a mechanical failure the pilot, on board as a requirement of the Port of New York, could not be held responsible. The ship’s captain is responsible for the pre sail check list. If it was done and no issues were found then we have to wait until the NTSB issues a report. It is strange that no statement has been released by the captain or the port.

South American, Canadian American or Mexican American? Or do you take for granted that all Americans are from the States? The ship was under control of the New York government but there were pre-sail check list problems

So amazed at Mexico’s ability to do the right thing.I cannot imagine what it would take to move those animals and the cost and human labor, much less keeping the animals etc. calm enough for the move. Brings me to tears as it illustrates Mexico’s resilience in the face of strong undermining of their good spirits and will. Shame on those who view a ‘good samaritan’ as a devil to take advantage of its good management and prosperity. Not surprised who was at the helm with the Cuauhtemoc crash. Grateful to see it will soon be on its embassador mission so the world can partake in Mexico’s good fortunate under Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo’s watch.

It was revealed that in order to sail in the port, an American ship captain had to man the ship. In short, it was the American ship captain who was responsible for the crash. Further investigation as to what went wrong is being investigated.

Among the check-lists on morning of sail, is the Mandatory Engine Check….which might have alerted to its being Stuck in Reverse. Strange that there is no comment from the ship’s Master yet…..Saludos desde Acapulco.

I toured the boat last year when it was in San Diego. Beautiful vessel. Built in Spain in the 1980s but in a style that was reminiscent of the 1780s. Courteous and knowledgeable young Navy crew members served as guides. A real tragedy in Brooklyn.

The ship should be repaired and put back into Service.
