    It’s a matter of perspective. Maybe normal is that a small ship crashes into a tanker every 10 years and that was just one of those.

    I have no idea if tankers are safe or not but it would probably be easy to do this on purpose. This is one of the reasons why that’s improbable. No state actor would do such thing because even if the intent was malice then you’d prefer doing things below threshold that requires a response from another side (like cutting undersea cables).
