Accident waiting to happen

[Laszlo]

Monday afternoon sitting on the balcony of our cruise ship I was watching this thing unfold (St Thomas). Tow boat with an airbag and two divers in the water trying to lift / move an anchor from a super yacht, I later found out was stuck. These guys are right in a channel were tenders are running back and forth from their ships to a pier. Before I started recording I saw 5 tenders almost run thru the tow line, I managed to get video of the last one being waved off..... again. Tow boat had two divers in the water, no flags up or any other devices warning boaters people were in the water. I got bits and pieces of the event, tow boat spent about 15 minutes trying everything it could to move the anchor. From what I can tell they threw in the towel, deflated the bag and left. I could here people screaming at the tenders to slow down and go around, not that the tenders could hear them
