If you hear me yell "Eject,"Eject Eject. the last two will be echos. If you stop to ask why? you'll be talking to yourself, because by then you'll be the Pilot

Only gave the vid. a quick read but it seemed like the approach was on target.
Is it possible the crewman on the stern was supposed to let the helmsman know the range and rate of closing ?
Most likely a comms. failure.

Tires and stern controls, all I'm saying. But Im so warped from working in the gulf that any vessel with out stern controls just looks wrong to me.
