Not all enemies need to send a terrorist group into a concert hall and start having them conduct pray and spray tactics into the populace though. This could be a minor love tap from someone wanting to send us a message for all we know. 1:30 AM is the perfect time to do it if you just wanted to wreck a bridge deliberately without killing too many civilians. 1:30 AM our time is 8:30 AM Eastern Block time. Could have been on crazy Ivan's to-do list this morning after he got his first cup of coffee spiked with vodka in for the day. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie?

Crazy situation. One thing I find odd is there doesn’t appear to be a tug boat. I thought those were pretty standard when entering and leaving a port. Feel like that could have budged the trajectory into something maybe a little less.
On the surface of this, I don’t see anything deliberate. Not ruling anything out. But system/power failure with a freighter moving at 8 knots in a channel can be catastrophic. Couple that with the mayday signals and it doesn’t seem like this was an attack. Seriously unfortunate set of events. But for as bad as it is, it could have been 10 fold if it occurred 7 hours earlier. (03-26-2024, 12:50 PM)JagsorDie Wrote: Crazy situation.

Seems like multi levels of failure. "What do I know of cultured ways, the gilt, the craft and the lie? I, who was born in a naked land and bred in the open sky.

My understanding is that the ship lost power and lost directional control. Tug boat(s) could have steered it in a safe direction. There are 10 kinds of people in this world. Those who understand binary and those who don't. (03-26-2024, 12:24 PM)americus 2.0 Wrote:(03-26-2024, 09:44 AM)Sneakers Wrote: Way too much unknown, to us at least. It all depends on the proximate cause of rudder failure (assuming that was the problem) and his response. We also can't overlook the possibility that it was a female driver. I just assumed you were all original equipment. (03-26-2024, 11:08 AM)homebiscuit Wrote:(03-26-2024, 11:01 AM)Caldrac Wrote: Some people think it's maybe a cyber attack.

Dali flagged twice for deficiencies between 2015 and 2023: Inspection Records
The Dali container ship, which crashed into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore early Tuesday morning, was flagged for two deficiencies between 2015 and 2023, according to inspection records. Equasis reported that the Dali had 27 recorded inspections from April 20, 2015 and Sept. 13, 2023, during which time there were two deficiencies found. On Nov. 27, 2016, the records show the ship was flagged for “hull damage impairing seaworthiness,” in Antwerp, Belgium. Then on June 27, 2023, the ship was flagged for an issue categorized under propulsion and auxiliary machinery, and sub categorized as “gauges, thermometers, etc.” https://www.foxnews.com/live-news/us-bal...03-26-2024

Regardless of his view right off the bat, interesting notes here on the impact of how that bridge worked:

Law makers and Government officials should start looking closely at this, Boeing and the previous issues we had in Maui and Palestine, OH. A lot of inspections failing, a lot of laziness by companies and it's costing people their lives, their jobs, their homes.

The odds of this federally funded rebuild maintaining its same name are low. Very low.

Cargo ship had engine maintenance in port before it collided with Baltimore bridge, officials say
BALTIMORE (AP) — The cargo ship that lost power and crashed into a bridge in Baltimore underwent "routine engine maintenance" in port beforehand, the U.S. Coast Guard said Wednesday, as divers recovered the bodies of two of six workers who plunged into the water when it collapsed. The others were presumed dead, and officials said search efforts had been exhausted. https://www.fredericknewspost.com/public...4177b.html
