There have been many speculations (including a really bad one in AmericanThinker) but we don't know the facts. The "likely" collision occurred when the merchant made its first sharp port turn - according to people smarter than me.

I read that the turn was after they struck - it looks like it then came back.

This is just my opinion,it is my sincere belief that the Fitzgerald tragedy was not an accident.

All reports show the initial U turn was 30 minutes prior to the accident
