Anyone whose spent time in the pacific waters(especially those surrounding Japan) is not surprised...
If you'd seen those sea lines you would be more likely to ask "how does this not happen every hour"
The US Navy is spectacular and you nor I know what happened but the Japanese collision was clearly a poorly trained crew out of the Philippines driving a ship [which dwarfs the titanic] in circles at night...
