re: #289 dugmartsch

OT repost from earlier dead thread was hoping for a link:

So why wasn’t the ship disabled and then towed to shore? Was it too big for towing? I know the Israelis ruled this out as a solution to the problem on the grounds that it could cause a humanitarian crisis, but I’m wondering if that was a bad decision?

I got no link for you, but it was covered in the thread that you called dead. The comments are still alive and waiting there for you to read them. [Short version: boats could have sunk when disabling was attempted, could have blown up if towed to port.]
