    Default Amorita: upcoming movie

    It will be neat when it comes out.

    The Nantucket documentary maker John Stanton has a pleasing thing coming along called "Wood/Sails/Dreams". Teaser at:

    Who was eventually found to be at fault?

    Sorry, PMJ! I believe it was (as are so many litiginous situations these days) settled out of court with the terms of the settlement sealed.

    The RC ruled without ambiguity that Sumurun was utterly and totally at fault. I don't know how the lawsuit initiated four years ago is doing, came out, or whatever.

    It certainly seemed like it to my eye....I bet that cost Sumurun's insurers a pretty penny.... and they were damned lucky no one was killed. I remember the video of the crewmember climbing from Amorita's deck to Sumurun as she was driven under.


    The rebuild was quite inspiring... but somewhat like Garp's mother buying the house that the plane had fallen on.
