El Faro Has Likely Sunk

I wonder if he actually thought he could outrun the brunt of the storm (which seems to be the likeliest non-tinfoil explanation)? They must have the latest WX and WX radar aboard those ships. I wonder if like people with GPS in their cars, he gave too much allowance to the precision of current and predictive WX, and just cut things too close?

Or worse, was encouraged to cut things too close by the company in the name of time and $$$.

Good point. The article just struck me as odd. But hey, we (the general public), once never thought someone would pull a "suicide by airliner", so suicide by cargo boat is not that far of s stretch.

Your deduction is most likely the closest to what happened.

Wasn't calling you out on tinfoil, by the way - sometimes it's not clear on the forum vs talking in person. The German pilot is certainly a good example of the unexpected.
