SF Bay is known for it's fog......this is a given, but with the latest in High-Tech navigation instruments, and a shipping lane that is 2,200+ feet wide it shouldn't be that hard to sail a 131 foot wide ship under the Bay Bridge. OOOps. The pilot of the container ship somehow managed to navigate said ship into one of the Bridges cement support platforms gashing the side of his ship and releasing 58,000 gallons of heavy Bunker Diesel-Oil into San Francisco Bay. Nice!!!! Dumb ass. This is the first ship to hit the bridge in it's 70 year history. So Pilots back in the 1940's who had to used their natural senses and primitive instruments managed to not hit the damn thing but some clown in 2007 who has been a pilot in the Bay Area shipping lanes for 25 years manages to. I think this dude needs a vacation or to stop hitting the crack pipe!!
