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.
