First time I've listened to one of these.
My background is - ex Worcester 1959-63 at sea 1963-1978 all types of vessel(Master FG 1973) Airline Pilot 1979-2003 14000hrs in command incl. DC9 B737. This is not a trumpet blowing exercise but just to indicate where I'm "coming from".
My comment on this incident would be that the Bridge Team should have carried out the pilot's instructions to the letter without, as happened, interpreting them without telling him.
Not sure about the musical intro..?
