In the case of the ICW collision it appears the capt of the CC saw the other guy sifficiently ahead of time and took appropriate action but the other moron turned to port. APS likes to talk about "guided missiles" ... in this case it's a good analogy.

EDIT: not sure if this post went through on try #1.
Both accidents took place at minor speed, so very slow missiles. But both accidents took place because of pilot error. One has been documented very, very well, the Winni accident not so well, so far.
