That's quite the editorialised title ๐. But not far off.
The grounding of the ferry Aratere began with a "turn execute" command being pushed 36 seconds late, sending the ship's autopilot onto a course crew didn't know how to stop, a preliminary report has found.
The report showed the crew did not know how to take back control from the autopilot, and it took about two minutes before the ship was brought back under manual control.
It says it was a new steering system installed 3 weeks earlier. A bit crazy that hitting a button 30 seconds late caused a course that when undone in 2 minutes still wasn't able to prevent a grounding even with engines put into reverse as soon as they could.
