Re: Carnival Magic Cruise Ship Nearly Runs Over Jetskiers
In 27 years, I lost count of the number of supposed 'smart pleasure boaters' who havent a fucking clue about the rules of the road. Apparently, they get to the bit about how sailboats have the right of way.... and then burn or throw the fucking rules over the side.
Skipping the bit about all the other countless exceptions. All of which are relevant in inland waters and narrow channels. I told some retardo-spazoids point-blank, if it comes down to running the fucking boat ashore, or killing you stone fucking dead by a factor of about 10000, I hope you have your fucking will made out
And I wasnt kidding

Just out of curiosity, what are the chances of the jet ski damaging the propulsion/steering system if it should pass under or alongside the ship after it's hit?

If it were an older ship, probably approaching zero
Newer ones with the fancy bits and azipods? Still should be low, since they are mostly plastic and fiberglass but not zero

I was wondering about that, since it pretty obvious that they were in a channel, leaving port (I'm guessing Port Canaveral, based on the terrain). Probably not a good place to cut power for very long, with a breeze blowing and so on.
