Although the US maritime industry has gone full on Didn't Earn It, I'm not sure if this were a US flagged vessel. Vast majority are foreign flagged with foreign crews who don't do DEI. Said to have lost power, good chance of sh*tty maintenance with very little oversight. I have no idea if foreign vessels entering US ports are subject to any US inspections of engines and required maintenance and competent maintenance engineers.
Agreed this is probably due to crappy maintenance of equipment. I'm guessing a cargo ships power system isn't single threaded- most likely a collapse of several major systems.
Also, the crew sent a mayday message. How long from the time they initially noticed a problem before that call went out? The video I've seen is maybe 30-60 seconds. Ships that size don't turn on a dime. They were headed towards the support pillar for a while.
I used to enjoy a 180 degree view of Elliot Bay and watched countless container ships come and go.
To your point about them NOT stopping on a dime, where are the tug boats helping this vessel in and out of the harbor? Frankly shocking not to see any tugs.
Same intelligence people who opined on Hunter's laptop being Russian disinformation? Was the pilot an FBI plant designing a plan to bring down the bridge? At this point, I don't have much faith in our intelligence people. It it was a terrorist attack, looks bad for the dementia patient and therefore are they going to go to bat on helping Trump get back in charge? Lots of questions, not many answers so far.
Seems like if it was the Russians or Iranians or something, we 'd be admitting to that as further evidence of more money needed for Ukraine or more national security state money in a election year to save democracy. It seems more likely that regulations/processes weren't followed and that means we need for more regulations and processes that also won't be followed.
Dali cargo ship suffered 'severe electrical problem' while docked in Baltimore days prior to bridge collapse crash that saw it suffer 'total power failure, loss of engine failure', port worker says

Take it to the tug
I see what you did there
I think you can go blind tugging the tug
The new one should be called the Ray Lewis Bridge, to better reflect the community.
Lara Logan says intelligence people on the inside are telling her this was 100% a terrorist attack

I’ll need pics of Lara Logan’s spectacular rack as verification.
90% of the time the first report narrative is way off. This board was built on being able to quickly identify bullshit, LIPO.
One of the best examples that I recall. The Dem Media is always looking for a way to blame “conservatives” as their starting point.
The Bubba Wallace “noose” is another example.

PM to @HuskyBuck, "This board was built on being able to quickly identify bullshit, LIPO"
I do hope this helps.

@HuskyBuck swallowed the Bubba Wallace story to the berries too. Cook it!

A terrorist attack AND a result of DEI policies?
We are so screwed. We must mobilize immediately.
She sounds like a fucking moron looking for clicks.
Live look at Lara Logan.

Looks like the vessel should never had been cleared to leave without tug assist.
We have a Transportation Secretary whose biggest accomplishment was more bike lanes in South Bend, Whogivesafuck.
If Pete weren’t gay and DOJ-connected he’d be a Liberal Arts college professor or something equally useless.
