Message: [QUOTE="Roy Kristiansen, post: 87611, member: 146334"] Hi, Sam! >>those were Boxhall's own words concerning his night vision, not mine. . . . What more do you want? Oh yes, I'm familiar with what he had to say about it. My question, though, is whether sufficient time had passed by the time the trio went out onto the bridge wing that Boxhall might (might) have seen one of Michael's "tag alongs," rather than the Big 'Un itself. That's why I questioned the night vision thing. It's all conjecture, Sam, because Boxhall had real doubts and the other two didn't get a chance to put their impressions into the record. I know Boxhall has been timed going to the bridge. I wonder if he's also been timed against the speed of the ship - roughly, of course - after he got to the bridge. I tend to believe Olliver and Scarrott over Hichens and Boxhall simply because there was less opportunity, or the need for, collusion. I'm mindful that Boxhall was covered by the IMM's Rules and Regs relating to their obligations to the WSL during legal proceedings - that parts of Boxhall's story changed significantly over the following days and weeks. And I know that Hichens' testimony is under a cloud of possible WSL bribery. Once that sort of thing surfaces, it's difficult reading their testimony at face value. Roy [/QUOTE]
