So I can't find the article I read last night, it's either on the BBC, or the AP, but they change their headlines so fast, it's tough to go back

So apparently the container ship waited an hour before reporting the collision. So on the track that's posted earlier, it seems the ships collided near where the container ship pulled a u turn and headed west (I believe, I could be wrong). But it's not at the presumed spot at the last little chicane before heading towards Tokyo.

I believe I remember reading that the local coast guard is considering charging the container ship with something akin to dereliction of duty for not promptly reporting the collision when other sailors might have been in peril.
