RE: QE2 grounding.......The pilot who was in charge guiding the QE2 through Cape Cod waters when it grounded subsequently committed suicide...........

BRIDGE COMMUNICATION FAILURES LEAD TO QE2 GROUNDING: Failures by the pilot and master of the Queen Elizabeth 2 to exchange critical information have been cited as the probable cause of the ship's 1992 grounding off the coast of Massachusetts, according to the NTSB. The vessel sustained $13.2 million in damages as a result of the incident.
