Ships collide off Mumbai

I realize that I’m not that smart, but can anyone explain to me how a ship this large can collide with yet another cargo ship? Were all the people aboard these two ships, particularly their respective captains both blind??? Stevie Wonder and Jose Feliciano could have done a better job of it than the two jokers in charge of these vessels.  TGO

Containers fall from the deck of damaged cargo ship MSC Chitra in the Arabian Sea off the Mumbai coast August 9, 2010. Teams from the Navy and the Coast Guard were attempting to contain an oil spill off the coast of Mumbai on Monday after a collision between two cargo ships, with concerns rising that the slick may spread.
