I'm sorry; but this is a stretch. Let's say you're right and they weren't on the same course. And let's say that there was a speed limit that he decided to obey while BWI and was going 20 mph--R&P under the conditions you decribed above. They would not have intersected and Mr Hartman would be alive today. OK, it's a streatch, but let's say all this were true. With that same logic, can I wonder if he would have run over a different boat and perhaps killed on entire family? I hope we can all agree that this seems a bit far fetched. Both sides of this "what-if" senario.
