The pilot of a freighter that caused a huge oil spill in the San
Francisco Bay was confused about where he was headed and immediately
regretted setting off that foggy morning, according to transcripts
released Tuesday. The first day of the hearing focused on procedures at
the port and onboard ship that morning where Cota, a pilot who boarded
locally, was working with a Chinese-speaking crew and a master
who'd never been in the San Francisco-Oakland port. The captain and
three crew members also refused to testify, though Cota is the only
person charged in the accident. Transcripts of the voyage data recorder
show the pilot and crew struggling in English and Chinese to read
navigational devices amid anxiety about thick fog. Apr 8, 2008
