Most likely got sucked into the tanker ship wake, got dragged along the side of the tanker, took on water, and unfortunately looks like it went under and through one of the props.
If you would, clarify how you came to identify this series of events. I do not disagree, I would just like to know more.... Could they have applied throttle and avoided the first part? Or were they doomed by proximity?
So sorry to see this. I was involved in a near miss on June 3rd. Before sunrise taxiing out beyond the port A marina. We were looking forward and a tanker nearly hit us from behind. No lights or horn. The pilot boat was behind the tanker and quickly came around after we bolted to safety.
moon set at 2am and sun up at apox 6am ,, super dark nite before sunrise - accident possibly happened before sunrise , prop ship hit the boat most likely- I hit a jetty in super dark nite because I was off 100 feet from my position . I only had 900 boat trips without an incident then it happened .
Oil is sold to the highest bidder on the world market and oil in the ground doesn't earn interest until it is converted to cash. Drilling doesn't happen until the market needs more oil and the price is high enough to cover the expenses of discovering, drilling and producing it. When prices get too high it becomes cost effective for users to use alternative forms of energy. That is how the world's producers decide how much to put on the market. The more they put up for sale the lower the price becomes until it is not worth drilling for more. The less they put on the market the higher the price becomes until it becomes cheaper to use other forms of energy.
Our refineries cannot process domestically produced oil. We can only refine the oil that we import, and oil companies are not going to build new refineries.
@@robertcalef4242 hmmmmmmm The U.S. Energy Information Administration Most of the crude oil produced in the United States is refined in U.S. refineries along with imported crude oil to make petroleum products. For data on U.S. domestic (field) crude oil production, imports, exports, and refinery inputs of crude oil see U.S. Petroleum Supply and Disposition. EIA publishes data on the volumes of domestic and imported crude oil received at U.S. refineries in Refinery Receipts of Crude Oil by Method of Transportation.
We were there all weekend. So sad to hear. My condolences and prayers to the family for their loss.

Those poor guys went fishing and died such a tragedy my thoughts and prayers go out to the families❤❤❤
Ohh my. This is terribly sad to hear this news. 😢
People don't understand or respect the power of these huge ships. They go near them and screw around.
So sorry for the families.
How do you hit a tanker?!
You don't; Tanker hits you because you are not paying attention.
@@JayRSwan It was too close to the tanker and got sucked into the tankers wake and into the propellers

I find it hard to believe no one was watching the radar. How could you miss a return that big?
3 ships including the one that sunk were involved in the collision
The channel reads like Kill 3 News if you are new like me.
Stay away from large ships and the channels they use.. Duh…
It’s the only way to get to the Gulf, Duh
Never seen anything like that…
Have they interviewed the two that survived?
Did they have engine problems?
Beer problems.
@@robertlee8042that explains it all
Why didnt they say what happened how could you hit a big ship where they drunk what a bummer he was haulling ass
😂the two guys with the matching hats 🤦🏻♂️🤣
Thats their Company Logo...Dingleberry....
That’s their uniform, shirts have logo also.
oh Vincent..
Absolutely terrible reporting. What happened?
Boats can reverse the propeller to stop, ships can't. Like a train, ships can take miles to stop.
@@danielebrparish4271 that doesn't explain anything
@@ned6938 As useful as telling us motor boat/ship can move under power. 🙄 Captain Obvious.
This is a follow up story about recovery. The original incident has already been reported on . What's terrible is you not understanding that.
@mizzury54 really? When did they say it was a follow-up story? Again terrible reporting.
Four Drunks.
Why is that dumb cuts on first?
Oh…..forgot to mention…….stop shipping OUR oil overseas……ya greedy bastards have base close to $4 again……”drill here drill now”……my ass

He said main port of export of crude oil!!! Where's it going??? Just another clue to think about 😢
It goes to refineries and distribution ports located around the US.
@BruiserFL
Wut u talkin bout Willis, you can’t be using facts on the damn interwebs😁
@@billgabrielsonjr7259you don’t export to your own country Mr “facts”
@@mertonallowiciousI believe that would bring the Jones Act into play.
Mexico, Canada, the Netherlands, China, and South Korea. 65% of US energy exports by trade dollar value.
And some thought we would have flying cars in 2024.
Alcohol and boats don't mix.
Wow, how original.
@@davewendt225 You would think so but not so.
Alcohol is for losers and Homer Simpson 🍻 🥴 🍺
