Eyewitness and ‘celebrity real estate broker’ Daniel Eckardt said that it was “the craziest thing I have ever seen in my life. The whole building was shaking. We thought he was going to come all the way through the building.”

Joel Praneet Siam, 38, of San Diego, was reportedly arrested by Orange County sheriff deputies and is being held on a US$3m bail on charges of suspicion of grand theft of a boat/vessel and being in possession of a stolen vessel.

Authorities were initially called to the scene at around 10am, following reports that a boat had been stolen from a yacht broker.

“The boat was apparently being serviced at the local yacht broker,” Orange County Sheriff’s Lt. Ryan Anderson tells the LA Times. “It was being motored and collided with at least two other vessels in slips near the Lido Island Bridge, where the boat stopped.”

It reportedly took around 10 minutes for police to find and board the yacht, after it hit a seawall and became stuck.

Drunk/high or mental issues? Or homeless and desperate for a bed and 3 meals a day? I can't see any halfway logical reason for doing that.

One thing that vid confirmed is how important it is to turn the sound off so as not to inflict the inane comments on watchers

Remember the inanity of the commentator on the difficult landings at an airport recently.
Their were human beings on those planes.

I thought that the comments, in spite of the American accents, were the response of rational people to a shocking situation. Although hopeless, I think that the early comments were also vain attempts to attract the attention of the miscreant and avert a disaster. The woman in the cockpit of a sailing boat was certainly in danger when he was reversing towards her but failed to appreciate this.
