...He said the crew did not realise Manawanui remained in autopilot and, mistakenly believed its failure to respond to direction changes was the result of a thruster control failure...

Hows that for a work story... I've had some bad days at the office, but they have not resulted in the loss of a $100 million dollar piece of equipment.

There is a pretty good video about the details of the sinking, and some of the issues that may have contributed to the situation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BNx5V4GmSdE

Hey I've had this video sitting around waiting for me to watch it, I finally got around to it. It's a great video, does a great job of summarising the announcement, explaining how the ship works, and discussing potential causes and problem points.

Thanks for posting it!
