Wow, that's like a runaway Amtrak. Went through that jetty like it was made of matchsticks.

I know it easy to watch that and be critical, but I wondered why that other boat from the same firm didn't try and throw some rope in it's path. I have no idea if it would work but it'd be worth a go I would think.

Has anyone tried that?

At least one got hurt.
