The answer to your question about how it can happen is very easy. Not keeping a lookout. The company spent a lot of money installing windows in the wheelhouse when the ship was built but it seems that OOW's don't think they need to look out of them. There can't have been anyone on the bridge keeping a watch at the time. If there was this would never have happened. In the old days we used to joke that if there was only a dog up there at least he would have barked to warn of the impending danger!
