Is there something to be angry about here?

Rich, negligent assholes?
Maybe? Someone driving a super-yacht was incredibly negligent, running another ship hard enough to sink it (!), then letting someone else rescue the crew of the ship they sank (!!). By doing so, they caused the release of a bunch of gasoline, aviation gas, and LPG at the bottom of the ocean, with the attendant environmental issues.

Yes, there might be things to be angry about in that...

I’m with you on most of your points, but do we know it was negligent? Isn’t it normal to wait for an investigation before jumping to conclusions?

I think the vessel owner and crew are getting an unfair wrap because of money. If it’s true this is good news, as someone can pay for the cleanup.
