I'm in the area so I've heard about this since it happened. In my opinion, I don't think he should be held liable. Although, it looks like that's probably what's going to happen. If he's held liable, I feel it could just set a precedent for all sorts of ridiculous lawsuits. I think it's strange that this accident happened at all. It makes me wonder what kind of navigation standards are in place to prevent accidents like this in the first place.
