Really interesting and some excellent graphics.

"The Fitzgerald’s crew was exhausted and undertrained. The inexperience showed in a series of near misses in the weeks before the crash, when the destroyer maneuvered dangerously close to vessels on at least three occasions."

That's an excellent read! The systemic failures that caused those sailors' deaths were totally avoidable as are the systemic failures in other human-built and managed structures. To me humanity has not evolved enough to master the monsters it has created, and that is the root of most of the world's problems I'd say.
