I watched it again, and I agree. It was indeed more head-on than crossing. Based on what is shown, both should have altered course to starboard and sounded one short blast, long before the video started. That said, we cannot see what is off the starboard side of the boat with the camera. It's quite possible there was another vessel there and that the camera boat was already slowing because it could not alter course safely to starboard. Perhaps the camera vessel had already done everything possible and was hampered by limited maneuverability simply due to its large mass. What seems perfectly clear though, is that the smaller vessel could have altered course to starboard easily or slowed.
Very true, the video was short and we don't know what (if anything) is to the starboard of the camera vessel or whether either boat had sounded its horn or not. Neither appears to have taken any evasive action at all! I only made my guess based on what we saw in the video.
