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.
