    I like how the crew on the yacht throw up there hands yelling at the tour boat...so much for asking if they need assistance!

    Somebody?? More like everybody. Yes the tour boat had right of way, but the bottom line is that all are at fault since reverse on either boat would have avoided the collision as would a radio call, a sound signal...... I so share your hope.

    Yeah, that's an old video that seems to be making a come back lately. :)

    It is my understanding that they are both tour boats of some kind in the Red Sea area.

    IF you look closely I think you'll find the one vessel is flying an Egyptian flag.

    The smaller boat that recieved the hit had right of way. If they are in open ocean and it wasn't crossing a channel or something like that......Looks like someone left it on autopilot and wandered away from the helm.......Someone who is hopefully un-licensed at this point in time.
