It is not an estimated 20,000 birds dead. Please check your facts on the link you provided. The official count/estimate is closer to 2,000.
Should this page have a more descriptive name? This isn't the only oil spill ever to happen in the San Francisco Bay and sadly, I doubt it will be the last. Nate 08:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I was thinking 'San Francisco Bay Oil Spills', since it already documents two spills. Alf —Preceding comment was added at 21:10, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
I created a new page called Cosco Busan oil spill, shifted all the content across and redirected this page. Everybody calls the spill the Cosco Busan oil spill, and this title is also consistent with the title of the Exxon Valdez oil spill. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Wynfredw ( talk • contribs) 16:55, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
Suggest a page for the "Cosco Busan Oil Spill - 2007 San Francisco" and a separate page for the vessel itself; and the vessel page would link to the spill page for discussion of the spill. And a separate page for the Hanjin Venezia - the new name for the vessel. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 205.225.241.162 ( talk) 17:21, 16 September 2009 (UTC)

– Correct rendering of ship's name is "Cosco", as per all official cited references Davidships ( talk) 01:56, 17 March 2012 (UTC)
Sorry, but I got in a mess trying to do this. Also COSCO busan oil spill could be deleted as don't need a redirect from uncapitalised "busan".
I'm a former Traffic Controller, and I worked at VTS San Francisco a couple of years before the incident. I know that it is standard practice at the VTS *not* to call the pilot on the radio, once he or she has started the line-up for one of the bridge spans. This is because, it's felt that the pilot at this time will be focusing all of his or her attention on a safe passage through the span. But, VTS *did* in fact call the pilot as he was starting to move toward the bridge, showing their level of concern for what they were seeing on their monitors. The article makes it sound as if they did nothing.
As a side-note, at the time of the incident, the VTS was empowered only to *advise* a pilot on anything to do with navigational safety; they didn't have the power to *direct* any pilot. Wandering1 ( talk) 11:12, 11 February 2013 (UTC)
First, don't expect Wikipedia to be very accurate. It rarely is. Second, what you say happened is irrelevant by Wikipedia policy, even if you were there; if you can find an official report backing up what you say, that might make a difference. And of course, there remains the factor that even if VLS did everything they normally would, the fact that the ship hit the bridge anyway might suggest that their policies aren't the wisest. "We warned him that he might hit the bridge, but then stayed silent as he finally closed in and did so, because that's our policy" doesn't really help sway public opinion in favor of the VLS. .45Colt 07:46, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
WHAT "prescription pharmaceuticals"? That's kind of significant, I think. There are plenty of pretty benign drugs out there that one could claim caused an accident, and probably convict someone on that basis, even when there is no actual proof the drugs were what caused the accident. Many types of drugs can potentially cause cognitive problems, but what proof did they have that his actually did? Did they just convict him on these charges because they MIGHT have caused the accident, or did they actually have good reason to believe that they did? Anyway, it kind of makes a difference if he was popping Valiums or Oxycontins before he went to work that day, or if he was just taking Zoloft or something like that, which many lawyers could probably use to effectively get you convicted, especially when the politicians and authorities are desperately looking for someone to scapegoat and burn at the stake to appease the voters and other politicians. .45Colt 07:42, 9 November 2015 (UTC)
