Knee jerk reaction by excited locals who make noise for 'a solution' that both wouldn't have eliminated the cause of current incident, and wouldn't prevent same from happening again.
I'll go out on a limb here and state: "When mariners work 6 hours on/ 6 hours off for weeks they become sleep deprived." This happened one hour AFTER watch change.
How much would you bet that this is NEVER mentioned by the USCG as a factor? I know TC will be leading the investigation. But the manning is an issue. Both hours worked and single person watches in wheelhouse.
