Deepwater Pathfinder runs aground, ironically enough

Deepwater Pathfinder

The tweet from gCaptain was “Deepwater Pathfinder runs aground” which was linked to a post on the gCaptain blog describing how the drill ship ran aground while pulling into Freeport, TX, shearing off a thruster.   Perhaps I am just easily amused, but I was struck by the irony.  Clearly the harbor pilot, who was reported to be aboard, failed to find the pathway to deepwater when piloting the Deepwater Pathfinder.
