These two assumed they wouldn’t fire the props because the ship was docked. You know what they say about assumptions. Uploader Phil Jaynes tells us:
“I shot this back in 1991 under the M/S Seaward which was tied to the pier in Cozumel. We had run aground a couple of weeks earlier in Miami so we thought we’d investigate the damage. We choose to do it in Cozumel because of the ease at which we could swim to the ship and we made the assumption that if the ship was tied up the bridge wouldn’t turn on the props. We were wrong.”
