A harbor pilot did the same thing the SF Bay, except it was with a freighter and the bay bridge, and it spilled a bunch of raw fuel in the bay. The pilot was still held liable and criminal charges were filed.

I've always be under the impression that in Germany, accidents are treated like criminal offenses (I may be wrong here), but either way, the "pilot" of this Cobra should be held liable, regardless of his title or job description.
