     I read that somewhere else, but wasn't it like nearly a decade ago? It's probably not the same crew.
     
     The big question is why the power cuts happened. The ship would have been under the control of a harbor master who literally drives ships in and out of that specific harbor all day every day, so they really know what they're doing. The power cuts would have meant they couldn't have turned the rudder ... that's the real question.

     @AlphaKiloPapa @LCCMV @polarisera it sure hit the news today. The tanker had prior collissions and it's captain ran out of Ukraine.... the same tanker hit a wharf not long ago.... someone saving money?

     FWIW: The Dali is a container ship built in 2015. The bridge was opened in 1977.

     That doesn't seem like it would be true. The rudder in those things has to have power. They've got to be massive, and require massive pumps, right? I'm calling bullshit on this FB image with random text.

     It is going to have a major impact in the area as well as to the country because the bridge was a very important path for transportation of hazardous materials.

     I read somewhere that the bow thruster usually isn't connected to the backup power source.

     I wonder if fenders were left off the Baltimore bridge due to cost, or if it may have been difficult/impossible due to the length of the bridge and depth of the channel.

     and honestly, from what I've read so far, there was an incredible amount of safety procedure that was followed.
     
     While a ship isn't in a channel, apparently you have to have sailors physically at the two front anchors. So far everything I've read said at least one anchor was manually dropped. It just wasn't enough to stop something that weight 1000s of tons.
     
     The harbor master/harbor pilot did call in a mayday. The cops did stop traffic. They didn't get to the construction people in time, which is tragic.
     
     There were tugs, but standard operating procedure at that port had them leave before going past the bridge.
     
     Sometimes you do a lot of things right, you fall on a huge chunk of the safety buffers, and tragedy still happens.
     
     There may have been negligence here too. There may be room for improvement. But immediately blaming DEI/Trump/Biden/Pete-ButGig/Ukraine/TheVaxx/SpaceReptiles is just low IQ bullshit.
     
     People fucking died while doing road maintenance. Sailors watched their ship kill people for fuck sake. It's a tragedy.

     @Sherri_Ingrey @djsumdog @AlphaKiloPapa @LCCMV @softbear @polarisera depending on how much true redundancy there is in the ship's electrical, the same fault that took out primary power could just do the same thing to backup power. there's always going to be some place where primary and backup power meet, and if it's some switchgear right next to the two generators, that leaves a whole ship worth of single points of failure.
     in port or out at sea where the ship spends most of its time, not a big deal, send maintenance go to find and repair the fault, reset some breakers or change some fuses, and carry on. i'm gonna guess that they didn't spend a lot of extra money on making electrical systems perfectly redundant all the way to the rudder hydraulics or the bow thruster or whatever the hell else a giant ship needs to not boop a bridge.

     Hey Cat Lord. Fuck off. Just FUCK the FUCK OFF you retard asshole garbage piece of shit.
     
     I'm fucking Indian. Do you realize how many Indians they are in the worlds merchant navies? My cousin has been a captain for years.
     
     Does India have problems. Is the nation filled with a culture of corruption? Absolutely!
     
     Literally tens of thousands of Indian run ships move car around this fucking planet every fucking year. Your computer you're typing this on might have come to your country on a cargo vessel captained by a fucking Indian.
     
     So just go outside, find a good tree, tie a rope around it, put your fat fucking obese* dumbshit ass-head in the noose and do the world a favor by removing your retard self from it.

     @sapphire @CatLord @djsumdog @skylar @AlphaKiloPapa @LCCMV @softbear @Sherri_Ingrey @polarisera The problem didn't appear to be that the pilot got drunk and hit the gas instead of brakes, from all the flickering lights and belching diesel smoke the problem was that the boat didn't work.

     @feld @LCCMV @polarisera let's pretend it was russia for a moment. let's assume it was a manipulated gps receiver. you do it one time to demonstrate "if you keep attacking us, we can do this to you, forever"
     
     the OP is basically just "it is our institutions' own fault if no one believes them when they say anything" which is completely valid even if uttered by a retard or a grifter.

     @polarisera @LCCMV What's the advantage of a coverup though? Who is benefitting? Not any party, not any corporation. Shutting down the Port of Baltimore has serious repercussions that affect everyone. If it was an attack, it wasn't a very good one; the channel will reopen when they've cleared the debris, right?

     @feld @LCCMV @polarisera with a couple hundred dollar device you can direct a ship into taking out an entire bridge. we were (rightly) losing our shit when random people were taking out power grids by popping substations with rifles, this could be trivially part of a message that everything in your country is vulnerable.

     @Moon @LCCMV @polarisera Is that the best they can do? Come on, at least fuck with the planes at an airport so they get the wrong altitude and they all crash into the ground on Xmas Eve. They can even call it Operation Die Hard 2. They not only put the fear of God into us but they make the entire Die Hard series unwatchable. They destroyed a cultural icon. That's akin to killing a god we worship.
     
     But they went with a Maersk cargo ship in a harbor that isn't particularly strategic to my knowledge 🤷

     People are jumping to theories about this because we can literally no longer trust institutions that lie to us constantly. I agree, I think this was probably just a tragic accident. But I also understand why people are questioning the entire narrative.
     
     People are ignoring how the harbor master got an anchor dropped and got a mayday out and how the cops got the bridges closed (still some construction workers are still missing, probably dead tragically).
     
     What could have prevented this were fenders like on the Golden Gate bridge (which have been hit twice) or by building out ground on the sides of the support pylons so ship would run aground instead of hitting the bridge. Hopefully one of those will be done when it gets rebuild, and that will truly be the test of if America is still good at infrastructure.
